duping
Flags: needinfo?(amckay)
I was thinking this would just be a dupe to bug 1271345, but I notice you asked the reporter to file a new bug. So I guess I shouldn't dupe?
Flags: needinfo?(amckay) → needinfo?(aswan)
I don't think this is a duplicate, bug 1271345 was fixed in 49 and this bug is being reporting in 53.

Any update on this issue?

Thanks In Advance!
If there any updates, they will be added to the bug. It's unassigned at this point so its unlikely that anything will happen until a contributor takes it on board or it gets triaged.

I suspect a relation to bug 1331176, but am not entirely certain about that.
I am unable to reproduce this in a recent Nightly.  If you can still reproduce this can you please attach a complete working example?
