User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When opening the Preferences dialog box (Tools > Options...) with it already open to any tab but Applications or Content, and having not used those tabs yet in the Firefox session, I click the Applications tab. While it populates itself, I switch to the Content tab. The Content tab does not load. 

See comment 1 for continuation (need to check something).

Reproducible: Always

If I switch from Applications to Content, then from Content to another tab, all while Applications is populating, the Content tab does nothing, i.e. it shows the last selected tab.

Note that this may well be a special case of a general bug - I haven't the time nor the knowledge to investigate this further.

This seems to work fine for me. Can you retest with a new profile: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

Works for me too. Close as invalid or worksforme or whatever, please. Must be an addon problem or something.

Closing as invalid, because it is.
