User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0
Build ID: 20180822100104

Steps to reproduce:

From the command line, launched Firefox with: `firefox -new-window "https://www.mozilla.com"`


Actual results:

A new Firefox window opens, with nothing in the URL bar, and displaying blank page.


Expected results:

A new Firefox window opens, with the specified URL in the url bar, loading/displaying the content at the specified URL.

I suspect bug 1364392, though I can't narrow the range further. There's no way to specify command line options in mozregression-gui (bug 1422606, comment 20). Attempting to manually launch the same build that mozregression-gui has launched results in a "is already running and must be closed to continue" error message.
