Can you reproduce the issue when starting Firefox in a brand new profile? [1]
If yes, how about the latest Nightly build? [2]

Also, are there any errors in the browser console? (ctrl+shift+j or tools -> web developer -> browser console)

@David : indeed, there is an error within the browser console at step 4) :

09:00:13,523 NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIPluginHost.getPermissionStringForType]  permissions.js:220

@Gingerbread : indeed. I can't reproduce with a fresh profile.

This is a problem with the page info dialog, then.
