1510087 - Activity Stream doesn't work with browser.tabs.remote.separatePrivilegedContentProcess=true and e10s off

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect)

Description

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

Attachment: blank activity stream page

I had to turn e10s off today for something I was testing and I noticed that the new tab page doesn't load correctly. It just displays the borders around the favicon tiles and the search bar, but the images are missing and clicking on anything doesn't work.

See attached screenshot

Most likely about:newtab is loading this page:

resource://activity-stream/prerendered/en-US/activity-stream-prerendered-noscripts.html

And as per its filename, there's no scripts in the file as scripts get injected separately for the privileged content process.

mconley, what's the expected behavior of separatePrivileged on and e10s on?

I assume you meant separatePrivieged on and e10s off?

e10s off is no longer a supported configuration on Desktop, so while this is certainly an unpleasant situation, it's not wholly unexpected. So I think this is a WONTFIX.
