Attachment: crypto error screenshot

I keep hitting this error after i updated to the 1.1 beta 5 on my iphone 4. -[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey.   Was not connected prior, nor was i trying to sync to the 1.6 extension or firefox build.

* See screenshot

REpro:
1) installed FF Home 1.1b5 OTA on iphone 4, iOS 4.1, on 3G network
2) launch home
3) click i have an account
4) when jpake loads, just let it sit for awhile
5) crypto error popup

Expected:
- not sure how i got it, but no error thrown

Acutal:
- -[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey error

Tony, did you have Home 1.0.4 installed on this device before? Did the 1.1b5 install replace that version that you already had?

Fixed for 1.1b6

This happens if we upgraded to new crypto but we are still logged in with the 'old' account. In that case we do not have new style crypto/hmac keys, which means that we also cannot encrypt and upload a new client record.
