Could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

Hmm, it looks like it doesn't happen any more (both safe mode and regular mode).  Earlier today, I uninstalled the Sync add-on (had it from an earlier version of Firefox) to fix another bug with Sync options (bug #644478, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644478).  I think that fixed this issue as well.

Thanks, you can close.
