This seems like a duplicate of bug 628188. When disabling all add-ons and restarting _twice_ the problem should be gone. This effect is caused by add-ons using older versions of Jetpack/Addon-SDK.

Thank you Tim. I had searched but didn't find the bug 628188 that you speak of. I have tried as per your suggestion and deleting all groups before hand. 

Still I get tab mix-up. Even if the previous bug is closed, should it really be closed if the solution is - everyone out and get back in again?

Ah sorry I wasn't really clear. The steps I mentioned were only to ensure that this is a dupe of bug 628188. This does _not_ solve the problem, unfortunately. The aforementioned bug is solved in the Addon-SDK - that means every addon built with the buggy SDK version must be re-built with the fixed version and the users will have to update their affected addons. Alternatively we'll have to wait for Fx 5 or we should try to get bug 635975 into Fx 4.0.1 (if there's a service release).

So just to clarify: You disabled all add-ons and even after restarting Firefox twice the problem wasn't gone? I really need to know if this is a duplicate or a new bug :)

Hi Tim, sorry for the misunderstanding. It is the case that panorama work when all add ons have been disabled and FF has been restarted. I have found the add-on which is causing the problem by re-enabling each add-on one by one. Problem is coming form "Awesome Screenshot - Capture and Annotate by Diigo Inc. V1.0.3"

Looks like it is a duplicate of bug 628188. Sorry for the duplicate. Thanks for your feedback.

Hey Paul, thanks for also finding the addon causing this problem. This one was indeed built with Jetpack/the Addon-SDK. You could try and contact the author to rebuild his add-on with the newest Addon-SDK version if you want, otherwise we'll just need to wait for bug 635975...
