I'm noticing that this crash is mostly affecting Thunderbird, but there's 70-ish for Firefox. Should we hand this over? Or is there something for us to look into? Thanks!

This crash seems VR-related. Maybe Daosheng has thoughts on the thread timeout (?) situation?

It doesn't appear that there is anything for me to look into... there is nothing in the crash reports that indicate that this involves app update code and it appears to be a shutdown hang.

We recently refactor our VR thread model at Bug 1473397. It should be different than before. I will continue to seeing if anything needs to be changed as well once I am back on Fri.
I have given a fix for this issue. Besides, we are considering to remove VRListenerThread in FF64 for Bug 1494556. We will no longer see VRListenerThread be related with this shutdown hang issue.

Hi Daosheng,

Unfortunately, Firefox still keeps on crashing after updating Firefox 64.0a1 bp-cc86dffb-db39-49d6-b156-30e940181005

That would be other issues because we have removed VRListenerThread at Bug 1494556.
Flags: needinfo?(dmu)
At Bug 1494556, we have removed VRListenerThread. If it's still happened, that would be affected by other issues.
