hello,

          this type of problem mainly due to rooting of your phone by allowing special permissions to  your apps . i have seen the same problem in custom ROM . i request you to give some additional information about your device ,so can proceed further. 
                           thank you,

What additional information would be helpful?

This is likely https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099439 the only current solution is to upgrade to Android 4.4.

If you are reasonably technical we need to find out when this issue started.
