Do we know why the Tp tests on Android are orange?

it looks like these are orange more than green. From looking at a few logs, I see that we load a few websites up, then nothing else is printed. This is usually the case when fennec doesn't write to the file (i.e. isn't loading more pages). Three reasons for this: 1) fennec is hung 2) fennec has crashed 3) we have timed out (an hour with no output) and killed fennec in the talos scripts (usually as a result of #1). My take is that tp4 is eating up too much memory or we have a page in the pageset that causes fennec to crash.

as a reference point, I am seeing about 400 seconds for elapsed time on the green runs of tp4* and these runs are ~260seconds. This helps me argue for seeing a fennec crash.

mark, Do you want us to bounce this over to mobile dev or close the bug? Let us know if there is anything we can do to help with this.

I can run the same pageset on Android phones using Test Harness (Zippity) over 20+ nightlies in a row, without rebooting the phone. I don't think this is a memory issue.

joel, I don't think the bug is going to be helpful in releng queue as it looks like we need to find out what's happening device side. Ok to move to ateam queue?

bear, yeah for now. I will work on reproducing locally

we will be tracking this in 648307 as I put a patch up there to resolve this problem and forgot about this specific bug.
