 TL:DR;
 I've downloaded an add-on from mozilla, and when I try to configure it the
 TorButton cleared its settings.

 Detail:
 First, I thought this might be an add-on's bug. I tested the add-on with
 Mozilla Firefox ESR and Firefox 57. Both worked without problem.
 So I removed the add-on from Tor browser and tried this[1].
 When I clicked "Save", it cleared all forms.
 The Browser console said TorButton is causing this issue.

 I understand you don't want users to add any add-ons to your browser.
 But isn't this too much?
