The comments on CNET articles are not visible in the x64 Nightly

If you open any CNET article page such as the URL below, there is a bar with a "Comments" button and a few other Facebook/Twitter/etc. links.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-57342036-54/volvo-plug-in-diesel-hybrid-races-into-europe/

This bar is not visible from the x64 Nightly build, even with all extensions disabled. It is visible only if I start Firefox in Safe Mode.

Which I find strange because apparently all it does is disable the extensions I already did manually, and disable any custom setting and theme that I don't have.

Looks like a bug on Firefox side, as the same page works fine in IE and Chrome, and, as I remember, in the official x32 release. Any idea?

I see the same with the current 32 bit Nightly build on Linux.
Looks like a problem the the JIT compiler.

It works if I set javascript.options.methodjit.content to false.

A good place to discuss issues with Firefox nightly builds and Firefox beta builds is at the mozillaZine Firefox Builds forum.
There is also a daily thread to discuss issues with the latest Nightly build on the mozillaZine Builds forum.

Thanks, cor-el, that setting worked for me too. I opened a new topic in the mozillazine forum because I didn't see a daily thread. I don't have the link yet because it's moderated.
