STR: 
1. Go to this URL: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios/projects/2
2. Observe

Expected:
The cards will load into the various columns on the project board

Actual:
Github spinner endlessly spins. See screenshot: https://screenshots.firefox.com/s0XA9sZ6VGsrndh5/github.com

Mossop and Adam tried a few different things to see what the issue was and couldn't find anything. 

The issue doesn't happen in Chrome or in a new Firefox profile. (cards load)

The issues does happen in Private browsing mode, after several restarts, all add-ons disabled.

That's exactly what happens here with Firefox 56 (older version) in private browsing mode.

I should clarify that I discovered the issue in regular browsing mode. And we could reproduce it in private browsing mode. This is in Nightly edition: 58.0a1 (2017-10-16). 

I first noticed this about mid-last week.

It works for me. 58.0a1 (2017-10-18) (64-bit)

Hi Tiffanie, could you check the web console for any errors when you get in this situation? This seems like a site or connectivity issue.

I did a little bit of digging when I saw this happen. There were no errors in the web console and the network panel showed that everything was successfully loading. We couldn't see any difference in the requests between Tiffanie's machine and mine.

Given that it is happening in PBM, I wonder if we've enabled something there that's blocking something on Github. 

Wennie - could you please have someone on your team have a look?
