Are there errors in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) after you clicked that option? Does this also happen in a new Firefox profile <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles> ? If not, it may be an issue with your preferences or with some add-on. You can either live with the issue, switch over to the new profile, reset your existing profile <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings>, or track down the issue with the steps below, so the DevTools team can fix it.
1. Open the profile folders of your normal and the new profile via Firefox menu > *?* > *Troubleshooting Information* > *Open Folder*. 2. Close Firefox. 3. Copy the prefs.js file from your normal profile to the new profile ( *careful:* not the other way round, otherwise you overwrite all your preferences). 4. Start Firefox using the new profile If the issue also appears in your new profile now, then it's related to the preferences. You may further track down, which preference is causing it by only copying parts of the normal profile's prefs.js to the new one. Alternatively you could send me the prefs.js of your normal profile and I'd do it for you (but note that the file may contain private data). If the issue does not appear in the new profile even after those steps, it's unrelated to the preferences, meaning it must be related to something else, e.g. some extension. In that case you could try to add all extensions to the new profile one by one and see if you can then reproduce the issue.
