The issue is related to `trackingprotection` breakage.

So below are the domains to test:
- pagead2.googlesyndication.com
- platform.twitter.com
- bs.yandex.ru
- www.googleadservices.com
- stats.g.doubleclick.net
- mc.yandex.ru
- an.yandex.ru
- connect.facebook.net
- www.facebook.com
- platform.twitter.com
- www.tns-counter.ru
- gaua.hit.gemius.pl
- vk.com
- ads.adfox.ru

I opened the URL in a fresh browser profile (Firefox Nightly 63, uMatrix installed, normal mode) and loaded the page. The page is black.

I disabled the Spoof Referrer option in uMatrix and then WHITELISTED:
- adfox.ru(including all related domains)
- d1177nxzmxwomq.cloudfront.net
- lamcdn.net
and the ads are displayed.

The other resources didn't help. 

So in conclusion:
- adsfox.ru is in Advertising category = [tp-ads]
- twitter.com is in Content category  = [tp-content]

[Oana Arbuzov [:oanaarbuzov]]

[Update] The issue is related to `images` breakage.

Added uMatrix results.

Comment 4

[François Marier [:francois]]

If all that's missing is ads and the rest of the site works, then we don't consider this as breakage worth fixing.

Site owners can switch to an ad network that doesn't track its users if it wants to make sure ads get displayed.

Comment 5

[Oana Arbuzov [:oanaarbuzov]]

@Francois , the Facebook and Twitter comments area is also affected by Tracking Protection Basic. I added a separate issue for that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485372, since there was a Webcompat issues pointing to it and also because other sites are also affected. Bug 1485372 will probably become a duplicate of a meta bug related to Social media comments.

Comment 6

[François Marier [:francois]]

Thanks Oana.

We do want to keep track of broken comments. Maybe we should create another meta bug to keep track of them like we have for images and logins?

Comment 7

[Oana Arbuzov [:oanaarbuzov]]

We could do that. I filed a [Meta] bug regarding this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1486425.

I also updated the https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tracking_protection/Bug_triage to reflect the changes.
