1684145 - Seamonkey 2.53.x segfaults during startup when not using password manager

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[g.s]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.3

Steps to reproduce:

Compiled Seamonkey on FreeBSD 11.3 for 11.3 due to not being able to compile it on 12.2. Started the Binaries on a 12.2 with the FreeBSD 11.x compatibility package installed.
Tried 2.53.3, 2.53.4, 2.53.5 and 2.53.5.1.

Actual results:

Crashes about 5-7 seconds after startup - unless the password manager master password dialog is open for at least 7 seconds.
Another way to not have it crash is when you start it with the profile manager and create a new profile. However, it only helps once. After closing seamonkey and restarting it with this new profile, it crashes.

[g.s]

I accidentally found a workaround:
rm search.json.mozlz4 before starting seamonkey, it prevents the crash.
