Undocumented pref "extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault" breaks the Addon Manager if it's not defined, because the call to that pref in AddonManager.jsm is not try/catch'd. It _must_ be try/catch'd... Since that preference has not been documented, no third-party embedder knows about it, and that's why my just released BlueGriffon 1.2's Addon Manager is severely broken on addon install and removal... I'll have to release a 1.2.1 because of this bug:-(
Regression from bug 596343 - there was originally a try/catch there, which that bug removed (and shouldn't have - seems that change was missed in the review).
