What bug caused this issue?  It is odd that 52 is unaffected but 53 is.  Can you doublecheck 52 and also check 51?  Thank you!

The issue is not reproducible on FF latest Release 51 and FF latest Beta 52(20170124094647) and is reproducible on FF latest Aurora 53 and FF Nightly 54.

Using the mozregression tool I got to this regression window:

I will set the status flags accordingly.

Moving this just because people here are probably better equipped to check, if this is still an issue.

I can't reproduce this in Firefox 130 Nightly.
