With today's build from m-c, the email app no longer successfully launches. The email splash screen appears, and then the homescreen reappears and the app is not running. Looking at the logcat, I see this Javascript Error: E/GeckoConsole( 109): [JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "'Error: no message manager set' when calling method: [nsIObserver::observe]" nsresult: "0x8057001c (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_JS_OBJECT)" location: "native frame :: <unknown filename> :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 0" data: no]"] Build Info: Gecko http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e3a124c9c1a Gaia 9e70675f17e450920090ccc8e58c076d3760771e BuildID 20130628031323 Version 25.0a1

This sounds like a gaia platform issue or a gecko issue. Is e-mail really the only app dying?

I did test several apps, and email is the only one with which I saw this problem. I will test some more and document my findings here.

I tested the following apps on this build, and they are all fine: Camera, Gallery, FM Radio, Settings, Geoloc, Music2, Image Uploader, Calendar, Clock, Usage, Music, Video, Browser, Contacts, Messages, Phone The only app other than email that failed to launch was: Marketplace

Thanks for verifying this is localized to e-mail. Nothing in the hg log jumped out at me as the likely culprit. I've got a build running and will slap gdb on it later tonight to try and determine what path we are exercising that's triggering this. A wild guess is that it's our use of cookies early on in our startup path.

So, from Naoki's log, the bit that says "Security problem: Content process does not have `indexedDB-chrome-settings-write'. It will be killed." in the context of the following seems rather bad. 06-28 16:05:36.604: I/Gonk(109): Setting nice for pid 697 to 1 06-28 16:05:36.604: I/Gonk(109): Changed nice for pid 697 from 0 to 1.06-28 16:05:38.676: I/GeckoDump(697): [32mLOG: got localized![0m 06-28 16:05:38.736: I/Gecko(109): Security problem: Content process does not have `indexedDB-chrome-settings-write'. It will be killed. This is well outside my area of comparative advantage at the current moment, so I am turfing this to the general component. The error "no message manager set" from comment 0 is being generated by Keyboard.jsm which seems comparably irrelevant; I think we'd need the full logcat there.

The SMS app is now suffering from this. The logcat is depicting the same failure message (indexedDB-chrome-settings-write). STR: 1. Load SMS app 2. Tap new message 3. Tap recipient field to show keyboard 4. Tap a key on the keyboard SMS app will crash.

this is also affecting Marketplece On: Gecko http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/d7553251cf43 Gaia 1ab1a866549e7b8644a9f51ef76d984a82ea8612 BuildID 20130701031306 Version 25.0a1

this is failing with: I/Gecko ( 109): Security problem: Content process does not have `indexedDB-chrome-settings-read'. It will be killed. It might be a slightly different issue

I can reproduce on current inbound + gaia master also. I'll investigate.

We set the following permissions for the email app: I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission alarms allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission audio-channel-notification allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission contacts-read allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission contacts-create allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission desktop-notification allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission indexedDB-unlimited allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission offline-app allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission pin-app allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission device-storage:sdcard-read allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission device-storage:sdcard-create allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission systemXHR allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission settings-read allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission indexedDB-chrome-settings-read allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org I/Gecko ( 4084): -*-*- PermissionsInstaller.jsm : setPermission tcp-socket allow for app://email.gaiamobile.org These match correctly with what we expect from the manifest. When launching the email app, we fail with: I/Gecko ( 4402): -*- SettingsService: settingsService Constructor I/Gecko ( 4402): -*- SettingsService: settingsServiceLock constr! I/Gecko ( 4402): -*- SettingsService: get: dom.mozContacts.debugging.enabled, [xpconnect wrapped nsISettingsServiceCallback] I/Gecko ( 4250): Security problem: Content process does not have `indexedDB-chrome-settings-write'.

I/Gecko ( 4250): Security problem: Content process does not have `indexedDB-chrome-settings-read'. It will be killed. I/Gecko ( 4250): IPDL protocol error: Handler for PIndexedDBDatabase returned error code It looks like something is creating a settings service unconditionally and this fails because the app has no permission. I'll bisect tomorrow.

This is a consequence of bug 885979, that just got backed out.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885979#c23 confirms this backed out. Closing this out as fixed. Reopen if this ends up still reproducing.
