Sounds more like a preferences issue...

This is not a valid bug.  On the Arabic build, this code is throwing because of a missing string in the translation <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5a18fb5aeeec99f1ca1c36a697082c221189a3b9/browser/extensions/formautofill/FormAutofillPreferences.jsm#93> which means the initialization steps for the Preferences window isn't being run to completion.  The same problem occurs in any localized build without a translation for autofillAddressesCheckbox.
