NI to Eugen to try reproducing

It's not reproducing for me on the latest Fenix Nightly (200325).
Which version are you using, jib?

Still happening for me on Firefox Preview Nightly 200329. I'm on a Samsung S8 (Android 9)

Sometimes I have to click back and forth a couple of times. It helps to quit and restart Firefox before reproing. I tend to get AbortError reliably on the first two clicks. Then a couple more, and then after that things seem to work more reliably and the AbortErrors are rarer.
