**[Affected versions]:**
- Firefox Release 132.0.1 - Build ID: 20241103194048
- Firefox Beta 133.0b5 - Build ID: 20241106091549

**[Affected Platforms]:**
- Windows 10
- macOS 14

**[Prerequisites]:**
- Have a new Firefox Profile where you have not seen the new tab page yet.
- Have the following preferences set in about:config:
  - `browser.search.region` set to `US`
  - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.contextualContent.region-content-config` set to `US`
  - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.spocs-endpoint` set to `https://spocs.getpocket.com/spocs?country=US&region=CA`
  - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.spoc-positions` set to `1,2,5,9,18,20`

**[Steps to reproduce]:**
1. Open the browser from prerequisites.
2. Open a New Tab and observe the 2nd and 3rd cards.

**[Expected result]:**
- Both cards are sponsored.
 
**[Actual result]:**
- Only the card in the 2nd position is sponsored.

**[Notes]:**
- The issue is not reproducible on Ubuntu 24.04.
- It seems that as long as the contextual column is displayed, the 3rd card (position 2) is not displayed.
- There are only 20 cards on the page instead of the usual 21.
- Looking over the spoc positions from [this document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yUuedhnsYnGUr4CaKfO5PqKP9DSn4l4K2A8QA3o9Aa8/edit?tab=t.0) and based on my testing, we could use the following value to configure the current card placements with the spoc positions from the document -- `1,3,7,9,18,20`, however this will make the positions on Linux look diferent.
- Attached [a screen recording](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WKZVMoQeUI48HEm5HsHGsF3emBj2xAW8/view?usp=drive_link) of the issue.
