I see this, think it's done this for a while... bug 404651 is similar for ff2.

I just built thunderbird from cvs source code a few hours ago. Then I launched dist/bin/thunderbird which showed me the "new account" wizard. I canceled the wizard and exited thunderbird right away. I still got a whole bunch of asserts etc:

In case some newbie wants to try this as a first contribution, here is the complete steps to obtain source and repro the bug:
1. start with a clean ubuntu gutsy
2. run "apt-get build-dep firefox" to get library dependencies
3. cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk
4. go onto the "mozilla" directory which has been created and create a new file called .mozconfig containing the following lines:

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT="mail"
ac_add_options --enable-application="mail"
mk_add_optinos MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@

5. type "make -f client.mk" to checkout and build all the code
6. run "dist/bin/thunderbird" to start the thunderbird version you just built
7. press cancel on the "new account" wizard and then exit thunderbird right away
8. asserts etc are printed to the terminal from which thunderbird was started

Duping to bug 422261 which is already Core/Widget:GTK, from a SeaMonkey user
