During shutdown, we are unable to use await PathUtils.getProfileDir() due to the error here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f8a41209af503016e78278774052d48d8c52b91c/xpcom/base/ClearOnShutdown.h#125.

Should we remove that assertion?

I somewhat suspect that https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/ef900cd2258d4c5d968093f612f807d96e6e7c98/dom/system/PathUtils.cpp#310 should be wrapped in a dispatch-to-mainthread, but I could be wrong. Barret?

PathUtils gets cleared at the ShutdownFinal stage, at which point we no longer have XPCOM, so it is unlikely this is happening at shutdown. It is more likely that this is instead running off main thread before PathUtils is instantiated.

Backed out for causing failure at send_alert_text.py.
