Chris, are you the developer of the "Web Developer" add-on? The add-on seems to be broken with multiprocess Firefox (e10s). If you have any questions about e10s support, just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org or ask Ally on this bug. MDN also has a good introduction:

Yup, I'm aware of this issue and it will be fixed in the next release. Just trying to find the time to get that release done and submitted to the add-ons site, but hopefully soon.
Reproduced with Ubuntu 14.04 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0).
The addon throws content.js and overlay.js errors. 
In addition, when "View Generated Source" is clicked from the "View Source" menu, blank window appears.  It is e10s specific issue.
Just a kind "bump" for this issue, as e10s is close to being activated by default.

Bad timing though, Chris Pederick I wouldn't want to add hassle to you, I noticed on twitter you just got hacked...
With WebExtensions being the only valid way of doing extensions in Firefox 57, I don't think this bug is still relevant.
