I can't reproduce this. Can you reproduce if you restart with add-ons disabled (see the options in the help menu) or on a clean profile? ( https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles )

Oh, and when it's broken, are there errors in the browser console?

I have the same problem with the default profile installed; it works however with a clean profile. When it is broken and started via Terminal (on Mac), I get this error in stdout:

A coding exception was thrown in a Promise resolution callback.

With a clean profile there is no such error.

So I actually deactivated ADB (Adblock), now it works.

Erratum : This is not addblock, this ADB Helper from https://github.com/mozilla/adbhelper
I don't know what this is.

ADB Helper enables WebIDE to connect to various USB devices.  However, I don't think it is directly at fault here.

I am pretty sure this is the same timing / loader problem from bug 1091706.  The add-on happens to invoke the loader at a different time, likely triggering that bug.

If you still see this issue after that bug is resolved, please reopen.
