Managed to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 on 62.0b3.

After further investigation , I have concluded that this issue is in fact website-related . 

I have tried to reproduce this on FF 40.0a1 and the issue is present on all platforms(Windows 10x64, Ubuntu 16.04x64 and macOS)as long as this specific ad is triggered.

A regression range could not be pulled because this issue is website related.
