Details

57.0a1 (2017-08-03) (64-bit) on Mac OS X latest version. STR: 1. open new tab 2. click the gear 3. un-check all boxes 4. open new tabs repeatedly Expected: all new tabs are blank Actual: Sometimes they still everything! After a while, it stops. It's almost as if *some* of the content processes got the message right away, and some got the message a bit later.
"after a while, it stops" as in the newer new tabs show blank? Or that some that did show something eventually become blank?
Also, is this test pilot or nightly version? (Nightly has a "Recommended by Pocket" section and *no* "Highlights" section.)

After while, the new tabs all stayed blank. Well, I opened ~20. Previous to that, every 3-5 tabs would show the content. Also, I have processCount at 7.

Nightly, because there is a Pocket section. Wait, no - it's *gone now*. And now there's a Highlights section. Maybe this is a bug where the two are both present and not playing nice together...
:dietrich, could you try this again in 57 Beta and/or 58 Nightly. I can't reproduce in either.
