FF61: Settings -> General not shown (about:preferences#general). Other Settings work properly.
If I try to select the General topic in Settings it just doesn't switch over to display the appropriate entries. The last selected topic stays on the screen.
browser-console shows three entries when clicking on general:
NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.create] FileUtils.jsm:67

The cause of the problem was the maintainance-service not being properly installed or regonized or falsely configured.
However fixing the problem took me some investigation.
Solved it finally by -uninstalling ff and maintenance-service -moving profile-folders and profile.ini to a different place -installing ff (not the latest version) After that general settings still didn't show up but I was able to do an update via Help..About..Update (this button was unresponsive in the original problematic state). This lead me to a working update to the latest (there is no other choice in this procedure) ff-version .
Finally -moving back my saved profile-folders -some minor fixes on userChrome.css were needed
(updating from ff61 to ff64)
did the job.
Calling "general setting" somehow tries to connect to the maintenance-service since it retrieves some information from that for displaying the update-options in this page. It failed with that and didn't show up at all. So this symptom was just a side-effect.
Also to mention: I've also tried starting the portable version of ff and it showed the same failure. Looks like there are some more system-settings involved other than the ff-profile.
