This bug is not related only to Lava Fox theme. I found many applications with this issue. You can see a screencast for another application below:

I can't reproduce this with LavaFox V1, can you still reproduce with that? I notice you're using the addons-dev site, did you also update extensions.update.url in your firefox to point there?
