I'm not able to reproduce this on Windows 7, User agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0, Build ID: 20130409194949

Does this bug happen in safe mode? (Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled and then confirm when a dialog asking if you want to restart in safe mode appears)

If yes, could you also try with a clean profile? (See here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles)

When you will have done this, please report the results in a comment, thanks.
