I can reproduce the issue on win10 x64 Nightly62.0a1(20180607100059).
And I confirmed the regression range:

str
1. Create a new profile.
2. Install the following extensions: the RES 
3. Open old.reddit.com and wait to loading the page
4. Scroll to bottom
   ---- auto paging is performed
5. Reload the pages (F5)
   ---- observe the auto paging

Actual Results:
auto paging would not be performed. There is "next>" link only.

Expected Results:
auto paging is performed.

This should be the same underlying issue as Bug 1467720 and the one described in Bug 1406181 Comment 314.
 
I'm marking this as a duplicate of Bug 1467720, which has already a patch to fix the issue attached and it is waiting for the review.
