Deleting an addressbook in the Addressbook window produces an error:

I'll guess you'll fix this one yourself, right?

Not sure yet. The problem is at line:
 if (aParent.URI == kAllDirectoryRoot ||
     aParent.URI == kAllDirectoryRoot + "?") {

aParent is a Ci.nsIAbDirectory, probably the All Addressbooks node as I was removing a normal (top-level) addressbook. The .URI attribute exists, but it throws. I don't know why it says uninitialized in this case, because we surely call. URI on the tree row on different places (e.g. just showing the context menu on it).

So you if can spot the problem faster, I'd be happy.

These days the error is now (on ESR68):
ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "URI" abTrees.js:280:7
so only shows up if you have the following prefs set to true:
browser.dom.window.dump.enabled
javascript.options.strict
