Hey Michael Leuchtenburg,
Thanks a lot for reporting this bug.

I can't reproduce it on my device.
Can you still reproduce it? If yes, does it happen always, or only on some specific cases?

It no longer happens as frequently and I don't have a way to consistently reproduce it. I am starting to think it is related to some other app with a share intent being slow. When it's working, I open the page, it is unpopulated, then after a second or so it becomes populated. Previously, when it was unworking, I could wait for 30 seconds and no icons would appear.

I don't know how to see which one is slow. Is the timeout for that set by Firefox or the OS?

I use this mostly just to copy the URL since I generally don't want to use the app share intents anyway. I could copy from the URL bar but autocomplete often adds to the URL if I do that.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Fenix::Share' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
