I was able to reproduce this issue on the latest Beta build (Firefox 18.0b2). After doing some investigation, I noticed that this issue is not reproducing on the Nightly 18.

Even more, I've found that this issue is not reproducing on the Nightly from 10/23, but occurs on 10/24. Here is the regression range: 
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=48502b61a63e&tochange=93cc1ee94291

And on the Nightly from 10/25 works fine again, and as Paul mentioned in comment #1, on 10/26 occurs again.

I guess that the bug which cause this issue to occur, was uplifted to m-a since m-c was Firefox 19.

Also I tried to narrow down both regression-windows, but the last inbound builds are from 10/26.

We're not interested in fixing this regression from 17 on 18?

Mark it for re-triage if you disagree.

Can we get a tighter range?

Comment 9

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

as tight a range as available without bi-secting. Can someone do that? http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?startdate=2012-10-24&enddate=2012-10-25
