Details

(Whiteboard: tp-needsrepro) 

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.109 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Closed all open Firefox browsers.
Opened a new private window and visited the following url
http://www.ig.com/uk/search-results?q=cat


Actual results:

After about 20 seconds a call for a tracking tag forced Firefox to reload the page.
This seems to affect other pages on our site after an ajax request has been fired


Expected results:

The page window should not reload
It's due to tracking protection enabled in PB mode. You can reproduce the refresh in a normal tab after setting privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to true in about:config.

I guess a tracking element is blocked by Firefox when the page is loading, and the page refreshes itself to load it again after a while.

Tested on 58.0a1 with TP enabled. Page still refreshes itself with TP enabled.
I have tested this on Firefox Nightly 63 (normal and Private window), with Strict TP ON, on a clean profile, but could not see the refresh being made.

Rebecca, do you still experience the issue?
