When I do Tools>Options, I get 8 tabs, as usual. (General, Security, etc) But when I click on the Privacy tab there is literally nothing there. It's like it needs to load, but the content never appears..

Please help me.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon/theme or other customization is interfering here...

Thanks a bunch! It worked! I opened it in Safe Mode and the settings appeared again, after that I exited and opened firefox normaly, and the tab is still there.

Thank you very much!
