1125905 - Tabs not always loading when starting FF 35.x

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Jim Reisert]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

I have two tabs to load at start-up, Google News in a "real" tab, and Google Mail in a pinned tab.  These tabs do not always load when starting Firefox 35.0 or 35.0.1.  I never had this problem with 34.x or any previous version.

I have created a new FF profile (settings restored from sync) and problem continues.  I have the following add-ons loaded:  LastPass, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, AdBlock Plus, Amazon Smile, Navigational Sounds, Places Cleaner, SSL version control.


Actual results:

Either or both of the tabs will not load automatically on start-up.  The URL bar for that tab is empty.


Expected results:

both tabs should have loaded automatically on startup.

The problem seems to be related to HTTPS Everywhere. When I disable that add-on, the tabs seem to start up properly, even in my old FF profile.

I'll see if I can find a way to report that problem to them.

With WebExtensions being the only valid way of doing extensions in Firefox 57, I don't think this bug is still relevant.
