Nominating for dogfood and nsbeta2, coz I cannot see the AB's. I hope everyone
uses AB. Updating Severity.

Putting on [dogfood+][nsbeta2+] radar.

This is caused by the fix for bug 33980('Collected Addresses' being corrupted 
when saved to prefs.js).  It looks like nsIPref::GetLocalizedUnicharPref() 
return an empty string to me when getting the prefs from addressbook.properties  
on Linux.  I'm still looking.

filenames are case sensitive on linux! it's addressBook.properties, not
addressbook.properties. Could that be it?

Comment 7

[Alec Flett]
