Device: Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (Android 6.0.1) Huawei MediaPad M2 (Android 5.1.1) Nexus 6P (Android 8.1.0) Build: Nightly 62.0a1 (2018-06-8); Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a large file from: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download or https://speed.hetzner.de 2. After a 2-3% progress, cancel it. 3. Long tap the file in about:downloads and tap Retry. 4. Check the progress in the notification bar. Expected result: The files id downloaded. Actual result: The download restarts but it's stuck to 0%.

That regression range url does not look correct. With a mozilla-central range it should list several changesets.

Yup, sorry, something went wrong there. Ran mozregression again and found the following: Last good build: 2018-03-19 First bad build: 2018-03-20 2018-06-11T14:53:46: DEBUG : Using url: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/json-pushes?changeset=ba39210b7512dd571c557e69e98cd67f6774ab42&full=1 2018-06-11T14:53:47: DEBUG : Found commit message: Bug 1444975 - Switch to HTTP throttling v2 algorithm. r=valentin

Any idea what could be going on here, Honza?

Note: Same result for the pause & resume action.
Oana, thanks for the report. Are you able to run Firefox on android with logging on? There are several ways: 1. preferences (about:config) create `logging.nsHttp` and set to number 5 create `logging.config.add_timestamp` (boolean) and set to `true` create `logging.config.LOG_FILE` and set to a path the process can write to 2. command line options (since Firefox 61 only!) run ./firefox -MOZ_LOG_FILE=/path -MOZ_LOG=nsHttp:5,timestamp 3. environment variables export MOZ_LOG_FILE=/path export MOZ_LOG=nsHttp:5,timestamp ./firefox Then reproduce and submit the log. Please provide the URL that failed so I can look for it. Thanks!

Thanks! The download is indefinitely throttled (actually stopped) - not an expected behavior. Looks like you found a really big bug! Oana, to get a bit more information I will ask you for a *complete log* - from the start of the Firefox session - option 2 or 3 only from comment 7, redirecting it to a file preferred. Thank you. Going to investigate, this is now on Beta and really should be fixed before it goes to release. Note that this likely affects desktop as well, but at this moment I can't confirm it. Note for drivers: it's no big deal to uplift a pref flip to go back to throttling version 1 on beta (backout the regression bug), if the timing is bad for this bug. ------------- Notes for me: speed hetzner de - log 2018-06-13 14:19:54.491808 UTC - [7202:Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp nsHttpConnection::Activate [this=0xa68d1080 trans=0xa3eeec00 caps=1] 2018-06-13 14:19:54.491833 UTC - [7202:Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp nsHttpConnection::SetUrgentStartPreferred [this=0xa68d1080 urgent=0] 2018-06-13 14:19:54.491895 UTC - [7202:Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp nsHttpConnection::SetupSSL 0xa68d1080 caps=0x1 .......[tlsflags0x00000000]speed.hetzner.de:80 2018-06-13 14:19:54.491923 UTC - [7202:Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp nsHttpConnection::StartShortLivedTCPKeepalives[0xa68d1080] idle time[10s]. 06-13 17:19:54.492 7202-7591/?

I believe the problem here is that fennec doesn't correctly deliver the active-tab change notification. The impl from bug 1366822 is likely desktop only... This actually depends on bug 1382274 that would also fix this bug. Still, I think in case the active-tab change notification fails from whatever reason, we should not fail this way. I will think of a quick fix as part of this bug.
Depends on: 1382274
Hey Honza, For option 2 starting FF with the extra command line options created an empty log file on the device. And I'm not familiar or have the knowledge to test with option no 3.

I will push to try later (can't update the tree from some reason), beta patch soon, cloning the repo takes time.

Comment on attachment 8986208 [details] [diff] [review] v1, disabled the affected features by a pref flip on android No idea if this will apply cleanly, but with some fuzz it should (I still don't have my beta tree!) Approval Request Comment [Feature/Bug causing the regression]: bug 1444975 [User impact if declined]: inability to download and probably more network related issues we have not yet even discovered [Is this code covered by automated tests?]: no [Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: no [Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: it's applicable and probably a good idea, see comment 0 for details [List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: none [Is the change risky?]: no [Why is the change risky/not risky?]: we just disable a minor optimization feature that already has a very small effect on android [String changes made/needed]: none
