Details

There's a bunch of intermittent failures popping up (see bugs I'm adding as blockees) that all seem to have a very similar failure mechanism. The GeckoBackgroundThread is doing some sort of long-running operation with the history DB, the UI thread is also trying to do DB access (and gets blocked, because the GeckoBackgroundThread owns the DB lock), and then the FennecInstrumentationTestRunner thread times out because it's trying to do some "runOnUiThreadSync" operation.

We shouldn't be doing DB access on the UI thread anyway, and fixing that should solve this problem.
No longer depends on: 856728
Depends on: 859855

All the blockees are resolved, so closing this too.
