same issue here after wasting 3 hours of my spare time it turns out that the crash occurs only if nighlty is set as default browser clearing default for browser in android setting solve the issue.

@ekager https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/3fa2294f-64bd-41f9-9846-e1d0b0200827 from https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14333

Hm cc @boek @eliserichards looks related to https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/pull/14126 possibly?

[andreicristianpetcu]

@ale82to that's correct! I removed it from default browser and it works.

I don't have google play installed, not sure if it is relevant.

secret settings looks odd

Clicking on prompt for review crashes.

I pressed on prompt to review earlier today, it crashes but I can restart the browser. Then it worked for few hours, and suddenly, without changing any settings it crashed.

• the crash message is the same as the one after prompt for review, but I did not click on it when I got these crashes on startup
• I could open a new tab from a link, but I could not use tab tray to type about:crashes, because it was making instant crash
• it stopped crashing when I changed default browser, then I was able to access about:crashes
• my phone: Pocophone F1, Android 9, no google play services, only microG

[B0pol]

So it worked for two days but now I get crash on startup with today builds, but not from the beginning (I mean right after the update).

I can't even open it if I change default browser / open via a link (I could with the original bug report) then I don't know if it is related, but I can't open about:crashes anyway

[hwinnemoe]

@B0pol That is very likely #14486 and unrelated to this issue.

[ekager]

I think we can close this crash.

No startup crash in Nightly 9/1 and RC 80.1.2, following the steps mentioned here: default browser and restart the app on a device without GPS.
