Environment: Device: Motorola Razr (Android 4.4.4); Build: Nightly 42.0a1 (2015-06-29); Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to about:telemetry; 2. Tap on 'Change' button. Expected result: The telemetry settings can be disabled or enabled from about:telemetry. Actual result: Nothing is happening when tapping on 'change' button. Notes: The following error is thrown in logcat: JavaScript Error: "TypeError: mainWindow is null" {file: "chrome://global/content/aboutTelemetry.js" line: 24}
Georg, did you test this on mobile?

Ah, no, that slipped through sadly. Any idea what the equivalent on mobile is to open the datachoices preferences?

The preferences are native, so you may need to do some JNI hacks for that... I did something similar for the privacy coach add-on: https://github.com/leibovic/privacy-coach/blob/master/content/welcome.js#L139 We include a version of JNI.jsm in the tree, so you should be able to just import that and use it. I agree with kbrosnan that I don't think this is a show-stopper.
Adding a tracking flag for Firefox41 and Firefox42 as this a regression and was found during QE Aurora Sign-off testing.

Georg, is this something that will be fixed for FF41? Is there a patch in progress? Or do you think it is better to track this for FF42 instead?
rnewman also directed me to the about:healthreport code, which uses a supported JS->Java message to show the settings page: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/chrome/content/aboutHealthReport.js#120 That's probably better than trying to use JNI :)
This won't make 41, lets track for 42. (If no-one is assigned to the bug then it isn't actively being worked on.) Thanks for the pointer Margaret, will try to get here when other work allows :)

Comment on attachment 8661693 [details] [diff] [review] Fix about:telemetry "change" buttons on Fennec Review of attachment 8661693 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nice, thanks for the patch! ::: toolkit/content/aboutTelemetry.js @@ +15,5 @@ > Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/TelemetryArchive.jsm"); > Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/TelemetryUtils.jsm"); > Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/TelemetryLog.jsm"); > Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Preferences.jsm"); > +Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/AppConstants.jsm"); This could be a lazy import, since it's not used until the button is clicked.

Tapping on 'Change' button will open Setting->Mozilla. Is this expected? Tested on latest Nightly (2015-09-18) on Motorola Razr (Android 4.4.4).
Flags: needinfo?(gfritzsche)
Yes, that is expected. That page contains the data choices, i.e. what you use to change those settings.
Flags: needinfo?(gfritzsche)
Verified as fixed in build 43.0a1 2015-09-18; Device: Motorola Razr (Android 4.4.4).
Georg, do you have plans to uplift this patch to 42? Thanks
Flags: needinfo?(gfritzsche)
I don't think this fix is important enough to uplift to Beta, i'd rather leave it riding 43.
Flags: needinfo?(gfritzsche)
OK, thanks. Untracking it then.
