Description

[Ciprian Muresan [:cmuresan], Ecosystem QA]

Attachment: bookmarks with no images after update.gif

[Notes]:
- The bookmarks have to have been created in a Nightly version that did not have Highlights.
- The issue is also reproducible if you import History from another browser in a new profile.

[Affected versions]:
- Firefox 57.0a1 Build ID 20170910220126

[Affected Platforms]:
- All Windows
- All Mac
- All Linux

[Prerequisites]:
- browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled is set to true in about:config on a clean new profile of Nightly 2017-09-07.
- Have enough history so that all 12 Top Sites are populated.

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Start the browser with the profile from prerequisites.
2. Navigate to three pages and bookmark them.
3. Update Nightly.
4. Open a New Tab and observe the first three cards from the Highlights section.

[Expected results]:
- The cards have an image, a title and a short description of the bookmarked page.

[Actual results]:
- The cards have titles, but lack descriptions and images.

[Additional Notes]:
- Attached a screen recording of the issue.

After updating from a build without Highlights to the latest Nightly, the cards from Highlights have titles, descriptions and grey placeholders that eventually become images.
Verified as fixed using latest Nightly 57.0a1 Build ID 20170917220255, on Windows 10 x64, Mac 10.12 and Ubuntu 14.04 x64.
