I tried to reproduce using the latest nightly but I'm getting this crash:

Open Firefox in portrait mode
open about:home
press the home button
rotate the phone into landscape
press the home button
rotate the phone into portrait mode

Attachment: screenshot Samsung Google Nexus

I am seeing the thumbnails on about:home after following the steps described in the issue on Samsung Google Nexus (Android 4.0.2) but they are overlapped. The issue is reproducible on Nightly/15.oa1 2012-04-24 and Nightly 2012-05-01. The issue is reproducible both with a clean profile and with a browsing history. I am not sure if the issue is the same or this should be logged separately.

I am unable to reproduce the issue on HTC Desire (Android 2.2) or Motorola Droid Pro (Android 2.3.4) on the latest Nightly/15.0a1 and on the Nightly/15.0a1 from 2012-04-24.

My patch for bug 725389 should fix this issue. Dupping.
