Details

Reproducible using Firefox 42 beta 2 under Mac OS X 10.9.5.
Not reproducible using Dev Edition 43.0a2 and Nightly 44.0a1 2015-09-30.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a private window
2. Enter full screen
3. From about:privatebrowsing page select "See how this works"

Expected results: The privacy tour starts

Actual results: The browser window is put in background.

The browser console error is:
The resource at "https://trackertest.org/" was blocked because tracking protection is enabled.[Learn More]
Fwiw, I can't reproduce this with Firefox 42 beta on Mac OSX 10.10.5.

The browser console message is also expected, since the page intentionally loads a resource from https://trackertest.org/ to trigger the Tracking Protection feature. This is a domain we set up specifically for the tour, so it's not a real tracker.
I tried on a different machine with 10.10.5 and I could reproduce there too. It seems that it only happens in a second tab, after already starting the tour in another tab.
This way I could see it on Nightly and Dev Edition too.

Would a screencast help?

Yes please
That's a strange one, thanks for reporting.
