When the 'Detect Captive Portal' setting is enabled, IceCat segfaults before the browser window is displayed when restarted, even with the --safe-mode option.

It works when run with the --migration option, but reports the following error: JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/CaptiveDetect.jsm, line 296: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: No canonical URL set up.

To disable the setting, I had to go to my profile directory and edit prefs.js to remove the network.captive-portal-service.enabled line or change it to false.

I use Guix's GNU IceCat 91.11.0esr.
This bug has also been confirmed on Parabola.
