Is this a problem without Multizilla installed?

It has not happened since I installed multizilla.

So this is a problem _without_ multizilla installed, but not with multizilla?

Is this a problem with a clean profile?

I'm having the same problem.  I'll notice a popup and then find the setting has
been turned off.  I start each day by opening several pages in tabs, and I have
the Tabbrowser Extensions installed (if either matters).

Please do Re-open when the same problem occurs by standard build. 
In that case, please make a new profile, and try Extention etc. without installing 
it.
