Please add always the full log, I don't know if this is a output from
crash or a stepping debugging. So it's currently not that useful.

Only if we know if the same issue is also not present in the upstream
version 60.0, aka the same version the Debian build is based on.

Debian is using since some months GCC8 and LLVM6.0 so we might again
find some regressions about compiler flags as Mozilla is still using
quite old compilers (compared to GCC8) which working differently while
creating the binary code.

But it's also not something you dislike or relay on? At least since
mostly every body is also using smartphone in nower days there are also
mostly at least two clients fetching the inbox and if your are using POP
you run into annoying things one day.

I also have worked long time with POP but switched over to IMAP long
ago, the visible thing is the same except I can simply add more different
clients and platforms to use email.

I suggest every body to hardly consider if POP is really needed. At one
day the email you are looking ans searching for is laying around on the
wrong device.
