I logged in Sync with a computer and then clicked "Manage", and was taken to the screen shown in the screenshot. It was very weird and I was wondering why would I configure what to do when Nightly starts using the "Sync" tab.

Clicking on the other tabs made me understand that it was a bug, but still...

I am able to reproduce this on Nightly 31.0 on Mac OS X.

I suspect bug 1025719 (which I only just opened before seeing this one).  Soledad, is it likely about:preferences was opened but not-yet-loaded in another tab?

Hey Mark, I was not able to reproduce this now with Nightly 20140613. I logged out of my sync account, made sure there were no other preference tabs open and selected to set up sync again, logged in and when clicked "manage" the correct tab is selected. I'd say this has been magically resolved unless you want me to do any other test.

OK, let's call this WFM and we can tackle the related problem in bug 1025719
