Browser / Version: Firefox Mobile 85.1.1
Operating System: Android 8.1.0
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Something else
Description: Firefox zooming crashes Night Shift & other apps
Steps to Reproduce:
Firefox Daylight 85.1.1 (Build #2015789953)
AC: 70.0.18, 7b5e8bb00
GV: 85.0.1-20210127184413
AS: 67.2.0
Thursday 1/28 @ 8:15 AM

Night Shift 4.00 by Ascendik (blue light filter)
NoRoot Firewall Beta 4.0.2 by Grey Shirts
Norton 360 5.1.0.5628 by NortonMobile
Chrome 88.0.4324.152
Moto g5 Plus phone, Android 8.1.0

To recreate:
From Google Play Store, download:
Night Shift (free)
NoRoot Firewall Beta (free) by Grey Shirts
Norton 360 (free trial)

Go to Night Shift Settings Filters page and tap circle+ to create a new filter. Select RGB filter and set Red 255, Green 0, Blue 0, Alpha 127 to make the screen pink. See screenshot.

In Firefox go to:
https://www.skipmcgrath.com/articles/selling-on-amazon/amazon-fulfillment-centers/

Zoom in and out to the max. Repeat. When Night Shift crashes, screen will turn bright white and Night Shift symbol (circle with big dot at center with 2 radials) will disappear from Android status bar.
Frequently, NoRoot Firewall Beta also crashes and its brick wall symbol will disappear from the Android status bar. This is scary — no firewall!
Sometimes, Norton 360 also crashes and its circle with checkmark symbol disappears from the Android status bar. This is also scary — no security/antivirus!
The above happens on many websites when zooming.
No problem with Chrome.

No problem with Chrome.

The last line of this report ("No problem with Chrome.") was not displayed when I pasted the report into the report box — hence, the duplication from adding it. Problem with displaying report???

We appreciate your report. Based on what you described, the issue is related to changing default settings of the browser and it is not a Compatibility issue.
For this project, we try to focus our effort on layouts, features, or content that works as expected in one browser but not in another.

I hope your comment refers to my comment about entering "No problem with Chrome" a second time since it wasn't displayed when I was entering the report.

Issue 66838 has nothing to do with changing browser settings. It has to do with being too dangerous to use because it crashes several apps when zooming. Chrome works fine. Firefox doesn't.

@hp-OneEarth Could you please go into your browser, type in "about: crashes" and supply some relevant information that you see there so we could investigate this further?

@hp-OneEarth So this is the result I get following your instructions:
testmuist

As you can see, Nightly does not crash any app:
-regarding the NightShift app, it did not change colors or crashed after zoom-ing in and out several times.
-firewall app and antivirus app both behaved as expected, with no crash reports or errors.

Tested with:
Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 210207 (🦎87.0a1-20210203093146🦎) / Chrome Mobile Version 88.0.4324.93

Operating System: OnePlus 6 (Android 10) - 2280 ×1080 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~402 ppi density)

The report I submitted was for FIREFOX DAYLIGHT. So the fix that was put into Firefox Nightly (to fix a similar previously reported issue 58898) should be applied to FIREFOX DAYLIGHT. (I now don't have the current problem with Firefox Nightly, only with FIREFOX DAYLIGHT.)

@hp-OneEarth I could not reproduce the issue using Firefox Daylight 85.1.2 (85.0.1-2021-0204182252) as presented in the GIF below:

Could you please update the browser to the latest version and give it another try?

Firefox Beta
86.0.0-beta.3 (Build #2015792145)

I tried Firefox Beta. Zooming in on the aforementioned website crashed Night Shift. Continuing zooming after Night Shift crashed caused NoRoot Firewall Beta AND Firefox Beta to crash.

I tried zooming in and out for several minutes with Firefox Nightly — no problem.

Maybe you need to install all 3 of the apps (Night Shift, NoRoot Firewall Beta, and Norton 360) to try with Firefox Daylight.

Firefox Daylight and Firefox Beta — problem. Firefox Nightly and Chrome — no problem.

@hp-OneEarth Thank you for your reply. Since the issue is confirmed that is not reproducible on the latest version of Firefox Nightly, this means that the issue has been taken into consideration for the next release of Firefox 86 (Daylight), which will take place on 2021-02-23.

The bad news: I switched from using Firefox Daylight to Firefox Nightly and while doing routine work the problem occurred on a different website. So I tried to recreate the problem and, with much effort, succeeded. It appears that with Firefox Nightly there is a much smaller crack for something to fall through.

(I should mention that the Google Android System pop up " ... has stopped" has never appeared from day one.)

The good news: With all the apps which were mentioned in the initial report Force Stopped, the problem can be easily and quickly recreated using Firefox Focus by zooming in and out on the website provided in the initial report. Keep zooming and screen changes to Home Screen wallpaper only with no apps.

Firefox Focus
8.12.0 (Build #350192153 🦎 85.0-20210118153634)
Moto g5 Plus phone, Android 8.1.0
https://www.skipmcgrath.com/articles/selling-on-amazon/amazon-fulfillment-centers/

I managed to get a recording, which got saved, of Firefox Focus up to the point at which Firefox Focus froze. (Previous attempts to record the action failed because the recorder app would get knocked down and not save the recording.) A few seconds after the freeze, when the screen changed to Home Screen wallpaper only with no apps, I took a screenshot. A few seconds later, the Home Screen was repopulated with apps. Play attached MP4 and see screenshot.

Firefox Daylight, Firefox Nightly, Firefox Beta, Firefox Focus — problem.
Chrome — no problem.

@softvision-oana-arbuzov @hp-OneEarth So that doesn't seem to be a direct bug of Firefox. but more a weakness of Night Shift when Firefox is involved. I would probably recommend to open a bug on Night Shift because they would be able to have a stack trace of the bug in their own app. This is probably not really a webcompat bug in the meaning we usually consider them in this project.

That's indeed weird and probably frustrating for you @hp-OneEarth

My last comment states "With all the apps which were mentioned in the initial report Force Stopped, ..." which includes Night Shift. Therefore, since Night Shift wasn't running, Night Shift has nothing to do with this problem.

@hp-OneEarth So I'm trying to understand, help me, I'm confused. What do you want to report here?

This project focuses on issues where websites behave differently in different browsers. Here you are mentioning a breakage not happening in Firefox but related to something(?) crashing when using Firefox. You said Firefox is not crashing. :)

What is crashing for you? Android?

@hp-OneEarth sorry, if it feels weird, but I'm still confused.

the problem

what is the problem?

You said:

screen will turn bright white

and

Firefox doesn't hang or crash.

Is it only the screen of Firefox which is white? Or the full Android? Aka if you switch to another app do you get back to a normal screen?

Closed. This is not a webcompat issue as explained above. It's not related to the interaction in between a web site and a browser.

Two-finger zoom and Firefox 88.1.3 (Build #2015808505) crashes on almost any website. See screenshot. No problem with other browsers. This is a WebCompat issue.

Two-finger zoom and Firefox 88.1.3 (Build #2015808505) crashes on almost any website.

which definitely makes it not a webcompat issue. This could be an issue with Firefox, memory and a specific device. :)
