This add-on specifies an options_ui which in this case is blank. The movement up and down of the buttons is caused by the options.html in the addon being inserted and then removed as the state changes. For most add-ons if they specify and options_ui, I'd expect that to specify and options.html as well and the UIs behaviour would make sense.

Closing as won't fix based on that and the expectation that one day, we'll rewrite this UI.
