Looks like http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/SwitchPreference.html was introduced in API Level 14; we need some compatibility with lower API levels.
We do have a fallback. It just only applies if we aren't using fragments. Honeycomb is the red headed stepchild here.
Ah, I see what's happening. There's an xml file with SwitchPreference that should be in xml-14, but is actually in xml-11. 24 is actually not affected, because after talking with ibarlow yesterday morning, we decided to remove the SwitchPreference, so bug 862116 fixes that. I prepare a patch for Aurora that removes xml-v11 as well.
Summary: Page displayed blank when going to Settings > Privacy&Security > Data Choices on Honeycomb → Incorrect usage of SwitchPreference in pre-v14 Android
Running an aurora build currently, will request review when tested.
Hi Teodora, can you try this build on your device, to see if the problem still exists in this build? It will install as a Nightly app, not an Aurora one. http://people.mozilla.com/~liuche/bug-871978/no-switch-nightly.apk Alternatively, can QA check that this fixes the bug on an Android device of the same version as the reporters? This should be any device between v11 and v13, inclusive.

Sorry, I meant this will install as an Aurora app instead of a Nightly one.

Please let me know if I can help furthermore.

Comment on attachment 749414 [details] [diff] [review] Part 1: Remove SwitchPreference xml preference screen v1 This patch removes the SwitchPreference usage from the preferences xml, as discussed with ibarlow. I will flag for uplift to Aurora after review.
