1. Start Thunderbird instance
2. Menu -> Edit -> Preferences
3. Click on any side-tab item other than the tab that is currently open

Actual results:

The Menu -> Edit -> Preferences step opens to the "General" tab item
Clicking on any other tab item (Display, Composition, ...) does not open the corresponding page. Stuck on General page.

Yes, version 66 is broken. I suggest to switch to TB 65 beta 4.
