[e-mail], does this issue also reproduce when Firefox is used with a clean profile?

A clean profile is a profile that has just been created and has no personal data yet : a new profile. The link in comment 1 shows how to create a new profile:

Your initial profile will be kept and you can return to it whenever you want afterwards.
