Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with a clean profile.
2. Load aljazeera.net.
3. In a new tab load http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/mobile/index.shtml.
4. Open about:home in a new tab.
5. Load in a new tab cnn.com and return to the about:home tab

Expected results:
At step 4 both pages should display thumbnails.
At step 5 besides the 2 thumbnails a new Thumbnail is displayed for cnn.com.

Actual results:
The RTL pages don't display thumbnails while the thumbnail for cnn.com is displayed almost instantly.

I started with a fresh install of 14.0b6 (adb uninstall, adb install) and then opened aljazeera.net, and then in a new tab opened persian bbc. I opened about:home in a third tab and got the following screen, as expected. Is anybody else able to reproduce this issue?

In your screenshot there aren't any thumbnails at all, including for the LTR google search result pages. Do you still get thumbnails for CNN or other pages?

I do, yes.

I'm still unable to reproduce this issue on latest nightly. At most I see some of the about:home thumbnails appear blank, but that's because the URL they correspond to are just redirects (e.g. http://www.aljazeera.net and http://www.aljazeera.net/portal will be blank because those pages redirect us to http://www.aljazeera.net/mob). Ideally we shouldn't even be showing those on about:home.
