Build 20171228100111 (latest mozilla-central nightly), after bug 1418985 and bug 1420124 have landed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Close any existing Firefox instances
2. Launch Firefox (I used `./firefox -profile /some/empty/directory` to not clobber my profile); note that `-no-remote` or equivalent must not be in effect

Expected results:

New Firefox window (with some first run stuff)

Actual results:

Crash reporter.

Additional Details:

I go the following output on the console:

    process 30901: arguments to dbus_bus_request_name() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_bus_name (name)" failed in file dbus-bus.c line 1122.
    This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
      D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
    Redirecting call to abort() to mozalloc_abort

    ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 30964
    ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
    ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

I usually ask Martin about things like this :)

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

It's a dupe of Bug 1429021 - when -profile param is given the profile name is empty.

Thanks, Martin!
