• bug 1250723 (esr45) - startup CRASH: C-C TB ASSERTION: can't be your own parent aka morkTable::AddRow (v45 topcrash)
  • rkent is taking this, reproducible result of exceeding limit of key size
• bug 1251120 (esr45)- crash in nsMsgI18NConvertFromUnicode (v45 topcrash)
  • We really need a reproducible case, individual messages don't do the trick. (wsmwk reproduces 100%)
• bug 1211291 (esr38, unknown in esr45) - Folders are visible, but messages are not. (?related to bug 1211358 lightning chrome.manifest not updated in 38.3.0 ?)
  • nobody has a clue about what to do with this, leaning toward shipping 38.7.0 with not fix. (wsmwk) agree, ship without fixing it
• Bug 1162148 - Warning: Identity file /builds/.ssh/{ffxbld_rsa,tbirdbld_dsa} not accessible: No such file or directory (won't be needed after esr38, fixed in 42) - status?
• Problems updating to 38.6 to do with Lightning bug 1249894 and its five duplicates. Two users attached their extensions folder.
  • Isn't this the same as the one above, bug 1211291?
