Title:
"Strict" tracking protection sometimes causes _all_ content to fail to
display on browser launch
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This morning I booted my machine and launched Firefox. I restored my
tabs from my previous session, and _none of them_ displayed any
content. The tabs included pins, regular sites, and extension dialogs
(specifically, a couple of instances of the LastPass 2FA prompt).
Further to that, Firefox menus also wouldn't display; either via
right-click on tabs, or via the "hamburger" menu in the top-right. (I
could still close tabs via Ctrl-W for non-pinned tabs, or via middle-
click for pinned tabs.)
favicons were displayed correctly, and I confirmed that the pages were
actually being fetched from the remote sites because I typed the
address for a page I know redirects and the redirect happened
(specifically, "!g foo" in my address bar caused DuckDuckGo to
redirect me to Google).
Restarting the browser did not fix this. Closing all of my tabs and
restarting the browser did not fix this. Closing all of my tabs and
restarting the browser, however, _did_ allow the Firefox menus to
render (provided I didn't try to open any web pages before using
them), which allowed me to switch "Enhanced Tracking Protection" from
Strict to Standard, fixing the problem.
(This is the second time I've experienced this exact behaviour, which
is how I knew to try modifying the tracking protection setting. The
last time was on an older version of Firefox in August:
