747309 - Kindle Fire: no Sharing menu options on Fennec

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: screenshot

It looks like the Fire does not allow sharing of intents when trying to launch the Share option in fennec.   instead, you're taken to the Kindle Silk browser. 

See screenshot

Repro:
1) 4-19-2012 nightly, kindle fire
2) launch any website, and click system menu > prefs
3) click the Share icon
4) Verify the Silk browser is called, and only intent is to choose a browser

Expected:
- on stock android gingerbread, choosing a URL to share should prompt intents like email, social apps, etc..

Actual:
- sharing apps intent seems disabled, and only Silk browser is opened.

Anything in the log when you open tap share?

I don't fully understand the STR. Can we retest and see what's happening now? Sharing has changed a bit in Fennec.

Doesn't affect current Firefox. I can successfully send tab and email pages to myself.
