What did you do? ================ 1. download and open 52.5.2 (64-bit) 2. the whole browser will flash white, and then open the about page and it will go white and the about page is blank. 3. This effects the 52.5.2 (64-bit) and TorBrowser 7.0.11 and 7.5 a9 What happened? ============== The main browser flashes white every time it opens and the about page turns Completely white. What should have happened? ========================== The browser and about page should not turn or flash white. Is there anything else we should know? ====================================== im running macOS 10.13.2 (17C88) and I tested this on multiple Mac's running the same version and it occurs on all Mac's. I reported this to TorPeoject here https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24566

Version: unspecified → 52 Branch

Product: Firefox → Core
The bug only started after I updated my Mac to macOS 10.13.2 (17C88) up from 10.13.1
It seems Firefox 57.0b3 is the first version with a fix for that.

(In reply to Georg Koppen from comment #4) > It seems Firefox 57.0b3 is the first version with a fix for that. This may have been fixed by bug 1400057. If this is the case, the following build should be the last build to reproduce the bug: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2017/09/2017-09-30-10-03-02-mozilla-central/firefox-58.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg And this build would be the first one to fix it: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2017/10/2017-10-01-10-03-35-mozilla-central/firefox-58.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg Could someone confirm?

You should only need to run the following commands in a Terminal window to use mozregression: sudo easy_install pip sudo pip2 install -U mozregression mozregression --find-fix --good 57 --bad 56 A number of Firefox versions will open in succession to narrow down when this was fixed. Simply type "good" or "bad" in Terminal based on whether or not a build reproduces the bug.

Thank you! So this was fixed by bug 1394654.
Depends on: 1394654
An uplift request could be made for the patch in bug 1394654. I don't know what the chances are that it will get uplifted. Alternatively, Tor may be able to take that one patch separately.
