I saw something similar after a FOTA on 1.4.

At boot (splashscreen visible) it said I had very little space left
(userdata partition), and it was stuck on splashscreen. I could reboot with
the power button menu.

Then I saw the homescreen but without wallpaper (black). I couldn't do
anything with the homescreen at this point. The notification tray and the
power button menu still worked. Reboot didn't help.

I only solved it by wiping the userdata partition. Basically a factory
reset.


I think the cause was corruption in /data/local/webapps and we can at
various points see different symptoms of it. It's in a way related to 1056424
- Stuck at loading screen during power cut off test
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1056424>, but in my case it
was caused by low space on /data rather than power cut off. Being low on
/data space in turn came from 1058555 - Updating preloaded apps in FOTA/OTA
results in duplicate apps in /data/local/webapps
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058555>, though I assume
your flame build does not come with preloaded apps? Do you know how much
space you had available on /data?
