The sounds like potentially an issue with a profile that was opened in a newer version of firefox and then downgraded back to an older version of FF.  Was this profile ever opened in 51+?  Does it reproduce in a fresh profile?

Comment 4

[Peter]

The profile has never been opened with a newer version of Firefox.

At the moment, I am not in-front of the machine which generated the error, so I will retest with a fresh profile once I am.  However, I have tested using another machine with the same build of Firefox and same OS version, and the failure does -not- occur, which would fit the cause being profile corruption.

Retested with:
