Summary: [Bug]Ads are not displayed in Nightly → Google ad test on GitHub are not displayed in Nightly

I am the reporter of the original report on github.
It is speculated that this issue is due to a bug in Enhanced Tracking Protection.
In the current Nightly, Enhanced Tracking Protection seems to work in strict regardless of the setting.
I found that the same behavior is achieved by setting it to strict in the stable version, and that the behavior did not change even if it is set to custom and all options are disabled (Social Media Trackers only) in Nightly, the behavior did not change.

Thanks for reporting,

This is because we block doubleclick.net as an email tracker in Nightly.

Marking S4 because it's Nightly-only breakage.

Severity: -- → S4
Priority: -- → P3

Thanks to Mr. Tim Huang[:timhuang], I found the exact cause.
As already mentioned, the cause is the newly enabled email tracker, and by setting privacy.trackingprotection.emailtracking.enabled (true for Nightly, false otherwise) to false from about:config, It will work correctly.
Apologies for the incorrect comment above.

Original website is not available. Could you reproduce this using alternative link and with the latest build?

However, the email tracking protection that caused this problem has been disabled in the latest Nightly version, so this issue should be closed.
