53.0a1 (2017-01-07) (64-bit)

STR:

1. enable tracking protection to "always"
2. go to Medium.com and start authoring a post

Expected: draft autosaves

Actual: error about being unable to autosave draft

Workaround: disable tracking protection, reload page, watch draft autosave start working.
Two notes:

1. Tracking protection also breaks the Embed.ly embeds of things like Tweets in Medium posts. I confirmed neither Privacy Badger or Ublock Origin thought the embed was a tracker (so the embed shows up fine), but our tracking protection blocks the embed entirely.

2. Our tracking protection pane says nothing on the page is being blocked, so I can't even whitelist the site, because there's nothing to whitelist, so the UI isn't there to do so. The only way to get things to work is to turn off tracking protection for all sites and then reload the page.
Priority: -- → P3
Summary: autosave of draft posts on Medium.com fails with tracking protection enabled → Tracking protection shield is missing on Medium even though a resource is blocked
Tested on 58.0a1 with TP enabled. Able to begin authoring a new article, page auto-saves without error.
