Hey Jonathan -- a couple of questions:

Which platform do you see this on (seems to WFM on OSX), and do you have flash installed?

Flash enabled on always enabled and on Linux on 50.0a1

Also as your screenshot shows it doesn't work without flash, this didn't use to be the case either (I moved from spotify for this reason). Chromium seems to work fine with no flash.

Hm, it seems to be working for me in Ubuntu 15.

But I just realized I didn't use a container tab -- is that a crucial part of the STR?

16.04 for me, no container used though. This is pretty odd though, I have tried logging out and various other ways, it is always reproducible for me.

I put it in the original case as that was what I was doing at the time. However since I have been able to reproduce in many ways.
I'll try some more tests tomorrow... I'll keep the need info open till then.

Adam, can you reproduce?

(See STR in Comment 0, Nightly/Linux that has Flash installed)

WFM with flash enabled in Nightly OSX, doesn't work with it disabled. Same results in Nightly on Ubuntu.

Chrome works with flash disabled. But spoofing Chromes user agent in Firefox we still get the Missing Flash Player dialog.

dom.webcomponents.enabled was enabled for me, this is clearly breaking material design sites.
Bug 1245142 suggests this is never going to work anyway.
Sorry about this, thanks for looking into it.
