Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [ticket:25879 cypherpunks]:
 > I have HTTPS Everywhere in my toolbar. I also have an old addon called
 JS Switch that turns off JavaScript at the about:config level, it's just a
 toggle for that config option.
 Torbutton does the same.

 > Whenever I've used it (or the about:config option directly) to turn off
 JavaScript, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, and AdBlock Plus are all
 unable to display their toolbar menus properly or at all. In the case of
 HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger, the menu balloon appears with a few
 words, but most of the words are missing and some of the toggles. The few
 toggles that remain are non functional.
 That's a dangerous game you're doing, Privacy Badger and AdBlock Plus
 would make you easily fingerprintable? Also doesn't Privacy Badger record
 all the websites that you visited so that its algorithm works?

 > Is this some new fallout from the move to WebExtensions?
 Are you sure that you have the latest Tor Browser release? I can't
 reproduce this with Safest security setting in the Torbutton.
