Attached patch Possible patch, untested (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
I can see what the problem should be, and this patch should fix it.  But I can't reproduce the crash on a debug build I compile myself at r95861.  I only see it in a nightly.  Can anyone confirm that the problem still exists on latest trunk, or failing that, explain where it does exist?  (We need a fix to backport to aurora, at the very least.)
Okay, I can reproduce in an opt build only.  Not sure why.

This also demonstrated something really weird -- insertParagraph doesn't ignore the last argument.  Something is pretty badly wrong with my implementation if that's the case!

Patch v2, with test

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): Bug 590640, patch part 5.
User impact if declined: Easily-triggered crash, although AFAICT the conditions are relatively unlikely to occur in non-malicious pages (editable root element with non-block children).
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): None yet; requesting approval in parallel with review request.  See try run link in previous comment.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Minimal -- simple null check.  Backing out bug 590640 patch 5 would also fix the issue, but would involve much larger changes.  That patch changes over 200 LOC by itself (not counting tests), and backing it out would conflict with a lot of subsequent patches.
String or UUID changes made by this patch: None.

This is really caused by bug 590640, not bug 748307.  Bug 590640 part 5 added the problematic code.  I'm pretty sure it's possible to trigger this solely with commands that existed before bug 748307 landed -- construct the DOM yourself instead of using insertParagraph, and use delete instead of forwardDelete.

[Approval Request Comment] See comment 6.  This is the same patch with a different test.

The new test doesn't rely on the fact that insertParagraph incorrectly works the same as insertText when execCommand() is given a third parameter.  It uses only execCommand("forwarddelete").  That's not needed either; you can do it without execCommand() at all.  Just load this URL, put the cursor before the underscore, and hit the delete key to delete the next character:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
<script>
function boom() {
  var r = document.documentElement;
  while (r.firstChild) {
    r.removeChild(r.firstChild);
  }

  document.documentElement.contentEditable = "true";
  document.documentElement.appendChild(document.createElement("span"));
  document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode("_"));
}
</script>
<body onload="boom()">

Thus bug 748307 isn't needed for the crash at all (but it makes testing easier).

New try run: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=1427204ad017

It's worth wondering why forward and backward delete are going down such different codepaths here.  I'd have expected both to trigger the bug.
