742243 - Hangs while loading pages on the Motorola Milestone

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

I'm not getting crashes anymore while loading webpages on the Motorola Milestone (bug 727948), but current Fennec Native is still as good as unusable.
Loading cnn.com is soon causing Fennec to hang/lock up triggering the "Force close" dialog of the Android OS.

Also, I get that very quickly when loading the simple url testcase and zooming in or just waiting for a little while.

I don't see these problems with XUL Fennec. Although XUL Fennec is rather slow, it is usable on the Motorola Milestone.

This device is likely not supported.   It's not even finding Firefox XUL in Android Market.

That's yet to be defined bug 742701. I suggest Martijin to try on Device Anywhere another old phone such as the i8520 and see if the same pattern of issues exist: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2238&c=samsung_gt-i8520_galaxy_beam_16gb__halo

I tried a build from 04/20, it's not as bad anymore. I don't get as many hangs, but Fennec Native is still quite slow and not really comfortable to use.
I did get a 'Force Quit' dialog on the bbc.co.uk desktop page again.

I noted this also in the device requirements testing spreadsheet:

I'm resolving this bug, Milestone is really old nowadays in the mobile world.
