Environment:
Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 100.0a1 (2022-03-27)
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate https://www.geoguessr.com/game/rWPElNH0jSGSVO7G
  2. Observe the page.

Expected Behavior:
The map loads.

Actual Behavior:
The map does not load.

Note:

  1. With ETP - Standard.
  2. Screenshot attached.
Severity: -- → S3

The maps are hosted on Facebook CDNs (https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net), which are content-blocked in Strict mode. The best we could do here would be to let the user opt in to allowing only Facebook content, though it might require a page reload as they are using XMLHttpRequests (we might be able to "pause" the requests until the user selects to opt-in, but that might break more than it resolves).

Blocks: tp-facebook
No longer blocks: tp-breakage

I am not able to reproduce this with ETP - Strict enabled.

Environments Tested

Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit)
Firefox Nightly 122.0a1 (2023-12-10) (64-bit)

Note

The only facebook related blocked content seems to be connect.facebook.*.

In the reporter's link submission of a guessed location does not work due to "x-cache: Error from cloudfront", in a fresh game this works as expected (e.g. https://www.geoguessr.com/game/nqD1NDDJrMEyo2Kr).
