Disabling all plugins doesn't help.
Starting with a fresh profile "fixes" the issue.

Well, I could change my preferences just fine with the old dialog.
How can I disabled the new in window preferences?

Do you have browser.cache.offline.enable in about:config set to 'false'? Bug 795764 is on file and should fix this issue.
