I think this is basically bug 963051. Interestingly there's a crash reporter for the crash today (so people are submitting crashes), the other day there wasn't (at least for me, I was just hitting Nightly is not responding).

I'm running into this on my Nexus 7 on a recent local build of m-c. It happens every time I try to change the default panel in settings :/

Oh, I don't have the patch for bug 963051 in my tree, I'll update and try again.

Nope, still crashing with the latest m-c. Also crashing on my N4.
