There is a series of intermittents that carry a similar sequence of events:

The tabbed browser related message points to [`aBrowser.webProgress.removeProgressListener(filter);`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3c8a7970944daaf917b547dffc0790bcd37cadc1/browser/base/content/tabbrowser.js#1909) with `filter` being null, apparently. 

It might well be just a symptom of other things going wrong earlier, but it looks like `updateBrowserRemoteness` could benefit from some hardening regarding missing filters/listeners in any case.
