Let's build a patch for this, land it in Nightly asap, and uplift it into Beta.

Pardon the spam, but I'm reopening this issue, since we're now tracking the status of webcompat issues with interventions differently (by keeping them open until the underlying issues are fixed, even if we're shipping an intervention). I'm operating on the assumption that this intervention is still needed, and that we ought to try reaching out to TikTok in that case.
