Sync crashes FF on Lenovo P70 Android phone

I recently bought a Lenovo P70 mobile phone with Android 4.4 installed. Of course, I installed my favourite browser, turned on Sync and it crashed. This is consistent - if I turn Sync off, it's fine, but the moment I turn it on again the browser crashes. I've removed and reinstalled it, I've applied two updates to my device's software when offered OTA, and also submitted two or three crash reports via the FF browser after a crash.

What's up with that??? No responses over the last two months?

Can you copy the reports from about:crashes in this response. The next steps would be to report this in a bugzilla.mozilla.org.

The device probably does not provide the Android accounts functions or greatly changed them such that they don't work like stock Android.

I suppose it's a tough job to add filtering to apps in the Play Store for every model of every type of Android device, but it would be nice if this app is not available for the P70 if there are recognised issues with it. Early days... perhaps that will come later.

Hi Guigs

I've pasted two crash reports for you - half of it looks like hieroglyphics to me, but I hope someone will have a trained eye. Thanks.

Next two posts - one report each.
