1-2 Some low spec devices are experiencing crashes when using Firefox-on-Android to run the web app option. #3
Comments
Experiment. 21 Jan 2019 - compare FireFox-on-Android and Google-Chrome-on-Android,
What to do from here? Report this as a bug to the Firefox community? I can try this but it may help to have a Plan B = I will also do more with the Android app development pathway. |
I have now filed a Firefox bug report. To prepare this I needed a simplified test app that I could let out as a public link. This tests the camera-handling code only and has no server-side or any other storage of the images. All test results welcome: This test app has an associated source repository: The emerging picture. The crash problem is only appearing on low cost, low resource phones. However these devices could be playing the useful role of "canary down the mineshaft" in that they are highlighting a memory management issue that could be more difficult to investigate on a phone with more memory where this could show up as a lurking rare intermittent problem. |
More testing is confirming that the web app on Firefox-for-Android runs reliably on most devices. Ref: I am therefore changing the title from: |
All trials with Firefox on Android are now crashing after running 5 to 15 min.
I do know that the last successful long run field trial of this configuration was 05 Jan 2019. The next trial which crashed was 18 Jan 2019.
In extensive testing over the last 2 days I can find nothing wrong yet with the code.
What is "crashing"?
The screen returns to its Android system home page.
Firefox is still running but it has started a new session with a blank home page
