The fact that this is Fx 28 makes it less pressing (since FxA + Sync 1.5) will be riding the trains shortly.

Gah!  This is the version of the reporter's desktop browser, *not* the Android device's browser version.

Yes, it is in Firefox for mobile 28.

Thanks, that helps a lot.  Can you attach the crash ID, or even possibly Android adb logs?  See http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug for instructions on how to grab adb logs from your device.

Thanks, this is very useful.  This looks like a mysterious issue we've seen before with bad passwords in the password provider, Bug 961895.  I'm going to have rnewman dupe if that's correct.

Relevant portion is:

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

linus: are you using Master Password?  In the meantime, you can work around by disabling Password Sync: go to Android Settings > Accounts & Sync > [Sync account]; on most devices you'll see a "Choose what to Sync" option which will let you turn of passwords.

Thanks for reporting and providing great logs!

No, master password is disabled (at least on mobile), though disabling password sync seems to keep it from crashing.
As for the regular crash-logs, I'm not sure about how to get the crash ID. The logs doesn't seem to appear under about:crash.

Fixed in 29. Nothing to do with MP: there's a bad record on the server, and we don't catch it before trying to insert it, and the PasswordsProvider doesn't validate its inputs.

Bug 966143.
