RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 900020

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130916030201

Steps to reproduce:

-Go to website with a text input field
-Tap field to bring up virtual keyboard
OR
-Rotate display to/from portrait from/to landscape


Actual results:

Sometimes browser will stop rendering the page.  The tab/url bar appears and disappears as normal when you pan up and down, and the little orange Android cursor-position caret appears and even moves around if you pan on the page, but all other content remains static.  Changing tabs changes the title displayed in the title/tab bar, but the page itself remains the same.

One can obtain brief respite from the bug (at least most of the time — sometimes attempting this just causes a crash) by pressing the 'recent apps' button in Android, then going back into Nightly.  This causes the page to render as normal until the next attempt at text input.

If desired, I can produce a screencast of this.

Other notes: has been happening for two months or so now, possibly longer.  Device is a Nexus 10, rooted with stock firmware.

The Nexus 10 has been a problematic device. We are hoping that investigations in bug 900020 will improve the instability bad behavior.
