I see the problem in Firefox 34 and in a Firefox 35 beta build.

The problem is gone in Firefox 36 Aurora builds and on tip.

I expect this got fixed by bug 1088158.  And indeed, I see the problem in a 2014-10-28 nightly but not a 2014-10-29 one.

Artem, thank you for reporting this!  The fix is already checked in, and will be shipping in Firefox 36 at the end of February.
