Hamburger Menu > Customize fails when ADB Helper 0.7.3 is enabled (also makes Tab Mix Plus fail)

When I noticed I couldn't customize Firefox 34.0.5 anymore, I went and started disabling addons one by one, until I discovered that the Mozilla ADB Helper 0.7.3 was the culprit. Once disabled Customized worked again. Said addon also made Tab Mix Plus not reopen saved tabs (but luckily it didn't loose any settings or configuration) so disabling that ADB Helper also made Tab Mix Plus work again.

Since I don't think I need that addon, I'll keep it disabled until Mozilla has a new build for it.

Regards,

Ah, that extension. You can remove (uninstall) this extension if you have no use for this.

Extensions are third-party builds and need to be updated by their author/creator.

This is a Mozilla add-on :-)

It reads: Mozilla and Android Open Source Project An addon to ease connecting to Firefox OS Devices Last Updated: December 20, 2014 Homepage: https://github.com/mozilla/adbhelper

I don't have any Firefox OS Devices so I'm fine disabling this one, just thought the Mozilla folks would like to know about this situation.

Since I know what problem it causes, I don't mind leaving it disabled, so I can re-test next time Firefox updates. Thanks!
