I am trying to move bugs out of Core::General since no one is in charge of it. If this is not the right component, feel free to move it to a better place.

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

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Privacy: Anti-Tracking' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
