When clicking setting in forefox - only empty window opens, with 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. The same with 'Clear history' option. The rest is fine.

hello Lisilis, this problem is usually caused by the ghostery addon - you could try to disable it... https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/topics/problem-with-firefox-32-firefox-option-is-not-displayed-when-ghostery-is-active-in-firefox-32

another workaround would be to switch on the new firefox preferences interface which will place the preferences menu within a tab: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.preferences.inContent. double-click it and change its value to true.
