1431729 - Geeting about:blank page when clicking on links

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Konstantina Papadea [:couci]]

When I click a link of huffpost on sport24.gr I get an about:black page.

Not sure if this is the right component for this one but I also filled it in webcompat and they told me to open a bug on bugzilla:

Unable to reproduce Firefox for Android 57 - 59 Pixel 2 XL. Clicking on huffington post links from that website load.

We were not able to reproduce this using several devices. 
We do see a blank new about:blank page for a few seconds - 2-3 - but it does load quickly after.

Hello,

Could you maybe provide some more information regarding the manner?
What kind of device are you using?
Do you have any addons installed that might be interfering with how pages load? (eg. Ublock, HTTPS Everywhere..)
If you do a clear data for your FF browser does the issue persist?

Thank you!

I am using an OnePlus 5T with oxygen OS version 4.7.6 

I've tried to clear data didn't really help. Also another interesting thing, it opens if I try to click on privacy mode.

On addons I have OpenH264 Video Codec (plug in automatically installed by Mozilla)

Hope it helps
