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.
mozilla-mobile/android-components#4957

[Rob--W]

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.

[staktrace]

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

[gaby2300]

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? El mar., 5 de nov. de 2019 a la(s) 08:54, Kartikaya Gupta (kats) ( notifications@github.com) escribió:

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

[jrmuizel]

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

[andreicristianpetcu]

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

[ekager]

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

[liuche]

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

[dbaron]

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

[LittleAngelwings]

This new build via Play Store starts without a crash: Nightly 191105 20:32 (Build #13092042)
📦: 20.0.0, 1bae81951
🦎: 72.0a1-20191103094618

[gaby2300]

I can confirm the above build starts without crashing.
Sony Xperia z3c and Android 6.0.1

[lobontiumira]

Verified that the latest Nightly builds from 11/06 (#13100629, #13100630) doesn't crash.
I installed the build from Play Store, and the taskcluster page, on the following devices:

• Sony Xperia Z2 tablet (Android 6.0.1),
• Google Pixel (Android Q),
• Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1).
