Thank you all for reporting! I have hopefully merged a fix in AC for this from @mythmon but it will take a bit to build the AC snapshot and get a new Nightly.

This occurred to me on Preview version "Nightly 190928 06:01" (I am not auto-updating). The app worked fine last weekend, but started to crash last night.

@ekager can you please post here when the build with the fix is published to the play store? Thanks!

staktrace picture staktrace on 5 Nov 2019

I also have the following issue: the app keeps opening by it's self.
Sony Xperia z3c and Android 6.0.1

Should I create a new issue?

I was able to get Fenix Nightly 191105 06:01 working again by clearing the apps storage and cache.

But then the problem came back after a short time of use.

Nightly is fixed for me. https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/project.mobile.fenix.v2.nightly/latest

Production is still broken https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/project.mobile.fenix.v2.fennec-production/latest

Yes the newest Nightly should fix this crash. Please let us know if you're still seeing this in Nightly

Production is still broken https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/project.mobile.fenix.v2.fennec-production/latest

That is the FennecProduction build, which would be something that @pocmo would know more about that (and is unrelated for this issue), but it's been broken for all the Nightly builds that I have triggered recently https://tools.taskcluster.net/groups/WwjSGdhNQbSMpxcaB0Ub7w

Fixed for me in the nightly that just came out (was still broken in one that came out a few hours ago).
