The solution is on ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1143280

You have two ways ...

1) Merge the last FENNEC version

2) Push in your repository only the changes for fix it

the files changed are:
/mobile/android/base/widget/datetimepicker.java
/mobile/android/search/java/org/mozilla/search/autocomplete/SearchBar.java

The solution here is pretty simple: downgrade your support library to v21.

We will not modify code when it's not really needed, and here it is not. The upstream merge to Fennec 39 is currently ongoing, maybe it's already fixed there, we'll see.
