I used to get this issue just after I do some browsing. Also, after it occurs once, then will never occur on the same profile, or at least I couldn't reproduce it again until I cleaned the Nightly Data.

This issue is reproducible even on Aurora build. As you can see in the following video, this bug is always reproducible on a clean profile: http://youtu.be/v8dEsaQvaxA

Note: If Request Desktop site option is disabled and then enabled again, the Desktop page is loaded as expected.

I guess that the same issue occurs if Desktop Site is requested for mobil.tagesschau.de.
