Saw this on 1.2.1 as well.
Upgraded to 1.3 (without uninstall), same thing happens.
Uninstalled mozilla and then reinstalled 1.3 clean, still happens.

Creating a new addressbook and setting that as the target for collecting
adresses does work, so perhaps the 'Collected Addresses' book got corrupted?

The file 'abook.mab' in my profile directory does seem to contain a lot of junk
at the end (binary garbage). I do not know the format of the mozilla
addressbook, but judging from the rest of the file it is supposed to be ASCII.

Also, I no longer had a 'Personal Addressbook' in my addressbook, only the
'Collected Addresses' one.

Probably due to a corrupt CAB. Because this is for an old version (1.3) without
an attached stack trace and WFM I resolve it.
