I've created a reproduction case: https://github.com/christian-bromann/bidi-issue-ff .. just run npm install and then node test.js.

As it looks like this happens only for the first time I navigate to that page. Further navigation commands return success. To reproduce the following code can be run in the BiDi demo client:

(async function() {
    await sendCommand("session.new", { capabilities: {} });

    await sendCommand("session.subscribe", {"events":["log.entryAdded","browsingContext.contextCreated","browsingContext.contextDestroyed"]});
    await sendCommand("script.addPreloadScript", {"functionDeclaration":"function customElementWrapper() {\n    const origFn = customElements.define.bind(customElements);\n    customElements.define = function (name, Constructor, options) {\n        class WdioWrapperElement extends Constructor {\n            connectedCallback() {\n                super.connectedCallback && super.connectedCallback();\n                let parentNode = this;\n                while (parentNode.parentNode) {\n                    parentNode = parentNode.parentNode;\n                }\n                console.debug('[WDIO]', 'newShadowRoot', this, parentNode);\n            }\n            disconnectedCallback() {\n                super.disconnectedCallback && super.disconnectedCallback();\n                console.debug('[WDIO]', 'removeShadowRoot', this);\n            }\n        }\n        return origFn(name, WdioWrapperElement, options);\n    };\n}"});
  
    let res = await sendCommand("browsingContext.getTree", {});

    const context = res.result.contexts[0].context;
    await sendCommand("browsingContext.navigate", {
      context,
      url: "http://guinea-pig.webdriver.io/",
      wait: "complete"
    });

    // Do stuff ...
  })()

I did a bit of testing and I think with the http://guinea-pig.webdriver.io/ page the issue is that it's http page, I've tried also a couple other pages (e.g. http://help.websiteos.com/websiteos/example_of_a_simple_html_page.htm) and they also triggered NS_BINDING_ABORTED error on the first navigation.

Ah, could this be maybe related to the HTTPS-only mode and that we are trying to forward to https://guinea-pig.webdriver.io/ but that is not available and we run into an error page.

Attachment: BCWebProgress:5 log

As the log shows we seem to return early because of a STOP_STATE for about:home (which is the currently loaded page), and then we continue with loading the page:

This issue is actually related to the HTTPS-only mode settings in Firefox. A workaround for now is to set the preference dom.security.https_only_mode_ever_enabled_pbm to true so that this behavior is limited to private browsing windows, which are by default not used.

We have to check how best we can handle such cases with WebDriver by using the WebProgress listener.

As discussed internally lets set as backlog for M12 for now.
