I cannot reproduce the same issue even in the ETP strict mode. It might be because your ETP list isn't up-to-date, we recently updated the ETP list in order to fix the x.com issue. Could you load about:url-classifier and click Trigger Update button of the mozilla section in the Provider area to see if this fixes the issue?

I have updated the Provider, but nothing has changed.

Do you have any extensions installed? Adblockers or anti-tracking extensions like the Disconnect one can also cause this.

Yes, I have; I tried to test by disabling them individually and found the reason. The Disconnect extension is the reason here.

Thanks for checking! Disconnect should already be aware of this issue so hopefully they can address it soon.

I found that Firefox is using a list of known trackers provided by Disconnect: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

Hope they can update their side soon. Thanks!
