Hi, the issue is replicating on the latest Nightly build (03/07) and Firefox Beta 68.0b14.

Diana, can you try to replicate this and find a regression range? Thanks!

Hi, the result of the moz-regression are as follows on Firefox Nightly, 68.0a1

Last known good build: 2018-07-24 16:27:11.242000, changeset: db9d47b49936e4933e5461c728dd4e653a2640dd
First known bad build: 2018-07-24 16:31:41.414000, changeset: 54f69f217483467dbd22e02ab4a98d8d8bc0ded8

I think it's a regression of bug: 1265824

Bug 1265824 doesn't really have anything to do with history so I'd be very surprised if it caused the regression.

Comment 5

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

I agree with Jeff. A graphics change will not cause this change.

Comment 6

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

The only possible bug in that range is bug 1476268. Even then I do not have high confidence that 1476268 is the cause. 1476268 is a Toolkit change to extension code.

Dianna would you try running the regression again and see if it comes up with the same results?

Stefan, since this is a privacy issue can you help find someone to take another look, now that we have a possible new regression range?

Comment 9

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Downgrading priority from P1 to P2

Asking the reporter to try this again on our latest Release and Beta builds. I marked it as WORKSFORME but please reopen if this issue still happens.

Comment 12

[Andrei Jolțan [:Andi]]

Hi, this is still reproducible on:
• RC 68.2.0 video
• Beta 68.2b7 video
