The Address Book Wizard is the issue - see:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32948
[Address Book Data Source Wizard Doesn't Work]

Note: in 3.4.2 when I do as you've done above I see the same and I can
actually connect to my proper SeaMonkey Address Book
(~/.mozilla/seamonkey...). However, in 3.3.3 I get 'Mozilla Address
Book' instead and it just hangs. Thunderbird Address Book works
(File|New|Database). I'm still trying to troubleshoot the difference
between the two.
