More minimal test-case:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
<div contenteditable><div>x</div><br></div>
<script>
getSelection().collapse(document.body.firstChild, 1);
document.body.firstChild.firstChild.focus();
document.execCommand("insertparagraph");
document.body.textContent = document.body.firstChild.innerHTML;
</script>

It should really be <div>x</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>, but if it were <div>x</div><br><br> it would at least work.  But it's <div>x</div><br>, which is no good at all.
Nice, this was actually already tested by wpt.

Thanks a lot for the quick and well-written bug report, Jorg!

You always have simpler test cases, but mine come from real life ;-)

You're welcome, thanks for fixing it quickly. I'll try it out in TB when I've fixed the lasted bustage that came our way from M-C.

Quoting from bug 1334771 comment #73:
I know that {some|most} M-C developers are not friends of Thunderbird. However, the TB team, despite being a pack of cats, have an excellent skill set and we are the secondary M-C testing brigade (bug 1328847 comment #38 "more examples of c-c usefully expanding the test coverage of m-c ;)"), because, to use the analogy, we are the kernel module developers and tread where no one else sets their foot. I could give you so many examples of TB people yelling when something wasn't right in FF.

As you know, TB has 25 million users, and all they ever do all day is hammer the M-C editor ;-)
Aryeh, thanks for the fix, that fixes the issue observed in TB when splitting blockquotes, too. Much appreciated.
This breaks Gmail, so landing a fix quickly would be good.  :)  This also proves that Gmail does use our line-breaking behavior!

It seems it breaks some tests?
And there is no reviewer requested.
Sorry, I confused changes in insertparagraph.html.ini with test failures ;)

Hmm, I don't know how review board works, but as Aceman pointed out, apparently no review requested. Sorry for the interference.

I'd like you to use:

if (NS_WARN_IF(!aSelection.GetRangeAt(0) &&
               !aSelection.GetRangeAt(0)->GetStartParent())) {
  return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
}

style here.
