Yikes. A soft reboot of the device? That's really bad.

Comment 2

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

It's an out of memory condition as indicative of the attached log in comment #0; the device is simply out of memory.

Comment 3

Works for me on my HTC One provided it has 2GB of available memory.

Can you retest?

The issue is still reproducible on the latest Nightly (2013-05-16) on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.1.1). The performance is better, now I can play about 30 seconds but then the app completely freezes. Other apps work and can be opened so the device should not be out of memory.

Is someone else able to reproduce this besides Adrian?

Comment 7

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Tried this on a Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2.2), Samsung Galaxy SII (Android 4.1), TF201 (Android 4.0.4), and again on the HTC One (Android 4.2.2) and was unable to reproduce in all cases. Sounds like conditions on Adrian's phone are simply causing an out of memory condition.

Per bug 1235869, we're going to disable the Android web runtime, so we won't fix this bug in it.

(This is part of a bulk resolution of bugs in the Firefox for Android::Web Apps component, from which I attempted to exclude bugs that are not specific to the runtime, but it's possible that I included one accidentally.  If so, I'm sorry, and please reopen the bug!)
