The default icon (the Instantbird icon) was a bit confusing when I first opened Instantbird (I had assumed it had set my buddy icon to that, apparently Digsby does this).

I think it should be obvious that this is a placeholder image, some ideas:
A Facebook like image that is a vaguely humanoid form
A grayscaled Instantbird image (should be able to do this with an SVG filter or CSS of some sort)

Other ideas are welcome.

Ok, so the next step here is to get a better icon.

I've found this placeholder image on the AMO developer profiles:

Here's it with a dark background, in case anyone wondered how that would look.

I was just wondering what the license is on this file...the file is also available at https://github.com/jbalogh/zamboni/blob/master/media/img/zamboni/anon_user.png and the repository seems to have a license of https://github.com/jbalogh/zamboni/blob/master/LICENSE not really sure if it's "compatible" (I think it pretty much says "Do what you want, don't use Mozilla to endorse it, include the copyright." If we have questions we can probably ask in #amo.
