Whiteboard: [native-crash]
It doesn't look possible that we're sending a null intent. Maybe something about the intent we're passing that the aidl code doesn't like. I'll have to build Android to try and see what's up.
I never really looked at this. Is the crash signature still around?

I'd like to give it a shot too!
GeckoAppShell no longer has these methods so I'm going to close this one.
