781729 - android.app.IntentReceiverLeaked in logcat output when pressing the sync box or awesomebar at clean startup and "Don't Keep Activities" is enabled

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect, P5)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

Attachment: Stack trace

1) Open a Firefox instance (17) that does not have sync set up.
2) Click the sync box.
3) Press "Cancel".

Expected: The browser returns to about:home and continues as usual.
Actual: about:home is blank and attempting to interact with the page causes "Application not responding" dialogs.

Note that hitting the back button out of sync setup will allow the browser to function properly.

Relevant stack trace is attached.

Hanging also occurs right after sync is setup and the user returns to about:home. Title changed according.

I started to get hangs even going from about:home to about:firefox on this particular device (TF201) while I did not have these problems on another device. I reinstalled the latest Nightly and everything seems to be fixed.

However, I still get the IntentReceiverLeaked error so I change the title and leave this open.

I forgot to mention, the log occurs when the sync box is pressed.

This problem occurs on my TF201 10" tablet but not on my Galaxy Nexus.

Attachment: Shorter stack trace

Clean started the browser, clicked sync box, and got this in logcat output which seems a bit less painful than the first stack trace.

This also occurs when I press the awesomebar – changed title accordingly.

Dropping this into what might be a more accurate component.

I didn't realize that I had "Don't Keep Activities" enabled and this does not occur with it disabled. Changed title accordingly.
