Ignore STR in comment #0

STR:

i) adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n org.mozilla.fennec/.App -d www.neowin.net

ii) Hit your device home button

iii) adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n org.mozilla.fennec/.App -d www.neowin.net

This crash was originally reported with STRs by the AppThwack support team. (Company background: http://blog.appthwack.com/sneak-peek-mobile-web-support)   

It actually blocks them from providing this testing service for Firefox Beta, aurora, and nightly.   The main reason being, their service moves firefox process to the background, while executing the STR.

Crash isn't reproducible on XUL.   It would be in good favor if we can find a fix and push this to the next .N release.

Thanks to aaron for dialoging with their support team to get this bug reproduced.

Dupe of bug 763813?

Comment 4

[Ali Juma [:ajuma]]

The problem is that step (iii) in the STR causes us to create a new widget (in addition to the widget that was created in step (i)), which in turn causes us to create a second compositor. Both compositors try to create EGL window surfaces, but we can only create one such surface, so the second one fails to create a surface, causing us to abort.

Probably the right solution to prevent a crash here is to use an EGL pbuffer surface for the second compositor. But this means that the second compositor won't be rendering to the screen (the first compositor will be rendering to the screen), so it's not clear that this solves AppThwack's problem.

As far as my testing goes, I'm unable to reproduce this by any other means. Ali, is this reproducible outside of explicit activity launching via adb?

I've only been able to reproduce it via adb.

This can also be reproduced with:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setComponent(new  ComponentName("org.mozilla.firefox_beta","org.mozilla.firefox_beta.App"));
i.setData(Uri.parse('www.neowin.net'));
i.setAction("android.intent.action.VIEW");
startActivity(i);

Pretty sure I fixed this a while ago.
