OK, fine
sorry for not getting the proper feedback

what would have been the right way to give a comprehensive backtrace?

is "thread apply all bt" would have been fine?

well, that is great you could pinpoint the relevant buggy part

yes, I'm really sorry if I sounded a bit grumpy

I know, what I really wanted to say is that there is no need to have a
complex foxyproxy setup to reproduce the bug (just a plain installation
of this add-on plus a blank icedove/thunderbird setup and one can make
it crash)

but I also understand that such a bug is best tested by the person who
is familiar with the module

could this be the bug you're looking for:
