Did anybody on Windows recently install 12.0 or 12.0.1 from scratch? Just wondering, given that bug 481815 introduced a Windows service to update applications without asking Administrator password (i.e., it installs a "service" running with administrative privileges and is taking care of any updates, which you should see in the Services tab and say something like "Mozilla Maintenance"). Firefox seems to have a UI for it, I don't see any equivalent for Thunderbird or SeaMonkey (that's the app.update.service.enabled preference).
I don't think I've ever heard of a problem of asking for an Administrator password for TB updates. But then, all my personal systems are running as administrator
Never mind, though that service is strictly speaking Toolkit code it appears to be only packaged with Firefox. That's kind of a similar approach that Adobe went with their update service, annoyingly doing everything in the background without the user noticing (other than clogging your connection and hiking your CPU) and suddenly the new version shows up on restart. Personally, I still prefer to be in control when to clog my line, and I always like to see what's going wrong rather than something getting stuck in a background process...
As part of the automation switch, we've just landed a change to update the url for the update server for Daily (trunk) builds.
Whilst there should be no visible change for most users, there may be an additional delay of about 30 minutes after builds complete before updates are available. This will only occur for the next few days until we swap the trunk builders to the new automation.
Once the swap of builders occurs, there will be another few days where users of the old url will need to update to the latest version before picking up the url for the new server. At some stage soon after we'll be pointing the old url to the new server, and hence users will get the latest version regardless of what build they are on.
This should all be transparent, but if you do see issues with Daily builds over the next few days, please file a bug in mozilla.org / Release Engineering and mark it as blocking bug 750649.
Tree is closed on trunk after landing of # 650353 [Core/JavaScript] have one global object per compartment, tracked for comm-central by # 751873 (blocker).
The stack trace isn't really useful, it doesn't get far beyond the first steps and the link points to nsAutoVoidArray (but the include file rather than any actual code). Anyway, you are not alone, seeing 12 crash reports (all Linux, but various causes) over the last week matching that signature so far.
Did you get something like "Terminate called without an active exception" in your console window? That's what # 751871 reports, also after an update, but apparently he didn't file a crash report so that we could compare it.
This was caused by # 736564 [Core] mozglue library should be included into xulrunner SDK, Standard8 has checked in a bustage fix, thus the next tinderbox or nightly builds should be working again. Also, a comment was added that this would break again once a second merge from that bug into mozilla-central comes. Thus, it probably depends on whether or not that can be caught in time on the comm-central side.
Edit:
