User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150302030204

Steps to reproduce:

Installed firefox nightly and then installed Google Analytics optout plugin from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

I went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/ opened console and tried to see if _gaUserPrefs variable is defined(the plugin defines it on the page you are visiting to indicate that the user has opted out.)

ps: I am a developer of the add-on and this issue came up in our regular plugin testing.



Actual results:

Actual: When e10s is enabled in preferences, the variable is not defined & Analytics data is sent to Google.

Actual (2): When e10s is _disabled_ in preferences, the variable is defined & Analytics data is not sent to Google.


Expected results:

Expected: The variable is defined and the GA data is not sent to Google.
