1095067 - Disabling of ABP breaks redirects until browser-restart

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

[Elbart]

Make a new profile and visit URL, all redirect-tests pass.

Install ABP and do the tests again; they pass.

Disable ABP (without restarting the browser) and do the tests again; all tests fail.

Only a restart fixes this.
e10s does not need to be enabled.

c6d53703d449	Allison Naaktgeboren — Bug 1063156 - Enable e10s shims by default, even when browser.tabs.remote.autostart pref is false.r=billm

Comment 1

[Elbart]

Tested with ABP-versions 2.6.5 (on AMO) and dev-build 2.6.5.3873.

Comment 2

[Allison Naaktgeboren :ally]

If e10s does not need to be enabled, that does point the finger at the 'automagical' always on interposition shims. Once bug 1102634 lands, please try toggling that pref and let me know what happens.

[Elbart]

The pref wasn't actually needed, as the bug was already fixed by bug 1096921 in the meantime.
