1390761 - Multiprocess gets interrupted when launching Kodi, resulting in blank tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1377950

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[AciD]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170810180547

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Firefox 56.0b2 (64 bits) on Debian Stable (Linux) normally, load a session with multiple tabs
2. Browse a bit in some tabs ; everything works fine
3. Open the Kodi application (new xbmc), then close it



Actual results:

4. When you get back to Firefox, all the tabs are now blanks (this image : http://i.imgur.com/NuLRyjY.png).
If I try to refresh them, still blank. However, If I open a new tab, it works for this new tab.

So far, the only way to fix that broken state is to close and reopen Firefox.
Note: This problem appeared few versions ago (perhaps a few weeks).


Expected results:

Tabs should not be blanks
