cc'ing reviewers and assigning to Jonas per bonsai on the assertion line.  The bug in question is classified and unavailable to me, so I'm not sure who to punt it to.

Not a dupe of bug 429962?

Comment 3

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

Trunk builds of Thunderbird hit this assertion as well.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Is this still an issue on trunk?  On Mac I can open preferences without asserting.

Comment 5

[Timothy Nikkel (:tnikkel)]

On Linux I don't get this assert when opening preferences. Should we close this then?
