Case: 1. An old profile with specific legacy add-ons is installed. For me, it is gui:config, the 'a.name' got 'undefined'. 2. When I open about:support page, it shows empty form. Browser console says TypeError: aname is null Troubleshoot.jsm:242:11.
I failed to install the add-on with old Firefox versions for reproduce.

Andrew, this looks like a case of an old profile, and maybe the add-ons manager isn't giving about:support the right information, or possible about:support isn't handling it right.
Could your team take a look at it as the first diagnosis please?

It looks like Troubleshoot.jsm wants to handle this but doesn't do it very well:

The expedient fix here is just to fix Troubleshoot.jsm to not fail in this case.
