bug 712517 - Rotating device can display blank white screens

• Notes:

I was able to reproduce that half of a second of a blank white screen on this test build, but nothing more, except one black screen as I mentioned in comment #17 (see attached screenshot).

I tried to find an un-regression range, but here it is what I found so far: - testing the Nightly build since 12/04/11 I was able to reproduce this issue - for the build since 12/11/11, I was able to reproduce only that half of a second white screen - for the build since 12/19/11, I was able to reproduce once the black screen mention above.

Imo, this patch has fixed the white screen issue.

bug 713067 - maps.google.com cannot determine the location after sharing Geolocation

• Notes:

I tried to reproduce this issue, but it works fine both on Firefox 9 and Firefox 10 Beta 2.

I did some exploratory testing around this bug using the following cases for Firefox 9, Firefox 10 Beta 2, Android Stock browser:

Case 1:

- I disabled these options from Location and security settings:

   * Use wireless networks   on | [off]
   * Use GPS satellites      on | [off]
   * Use sensor aiding       on | [off]

- I browsed to maps.google.com - I tapped on Share button Actual result: "location not determined" showed up for all 3 apps mentioned above

Case 2: - I enabled the following option from Location and security:

   * Use wireless networks   [on] |  off
   * Use GPS satellites       on  | [off]
   * Use sensor aiding        on  | [off]

- I browsed to maps.google.com - I tapped on Share button Actual result: Location was shared correctly for all apps, no matter how many times I tapped on the Share button.

Case 3: - I enabled the following option from Location and security:

   * Use wireless networks    on  | [off]
   * Use GPS satellites      [on] |  off
   * Use sensor aiding        on  | [off]

- I browsed to maps.google.com - I tapped on Share button Actual result (indoor): "location not determined" showed up due to low/no signal of A-GPS sensor. Actual result (outdoor): until the gps connection will be established, the same message is displayed as for indoor result. I opened a couple of 3rd party apps wich need GPS connection (like Google Maps app, or any driving GPS app) and the same popup was displayed while GPS sensor trid to connect to satellites: "Your location is temporary unavailable".

In my opinion this bug is not because of Fennec. It depends of the GPS sensor settings and GPS connection quality.
