Details

When loading an extension page in a session that has a regular page loaded there's always an intermediate load of about:blank. The same happens when loading a regular page when an extension page is loaded.

I assume this is due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1447406 ?

This affects reader mode as users will always briefly see about:blank flicker in the toolbar. I am not sure how to workaround that in the app / A-C, other than ignoring all loads to about:blank.

Yeah it's because we load the page in a different process, I think Fenix should ignore about:blank.
