Fenix: [Bug] blank page with html label in address

[SmilingCoyote]

A recurring blank page render.
I suspect the originating site's dynamically generated page is being generated at the top, spawning new pages as the user scrolls down since it is most noticable with hashtagged links i.e.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_transmission#A140E
It is intermittent.
Adendum: FFox refresh, reload the url does not work. Rotating the screen does.
So this could be a specific Galaxy/FireFox issue. Rotate screen fix? Really? FF is the only app that does this.
Galaxy Tab E SAMSUNG-SM-T377V
Droid 7.1.1

We've had a blank tabs issue in nightly recently, so this could be that issue #5478

Hello @liuche,

I don't think this sounds the same as #5478, the fix by rotating the screen has not been reported as a way to correct an "about:blank" tab.

@SmilingCoyote, when this happens does the address bar show "about:blank"?

Cheers 🙂

Forgot to mention, I've done a complete factory reset and re-installed
Firefox nightly since. Same intermittent issue.

Sheesh. I think I figured it out.
These pop ups are resizing over the entire display.
White script embedded pop ups.

Hi @SmilingCoyote,

Does this only happen on one site or others too? How do you manage to recover the page from this state?

Cheers 🙂

[SmilingCoyote]

As previously stated, I rotate it, it goes from portrait to landscape or
inverse of that and the pop ups get canceled. Like those that YouTube
advert for YouTube tv. Wikipedia has the same format popup I presume since
it too does the white screen.

Hi @SmilingCoyote,
I think you might need to raise a new issue because I'm not sure anyone from the Fenix team is looking at this because it was closed.
Cheers 🙂

Interesting, do these go away if you turn off ETP? ETP might be blocking those from loading, if it's a full-screen popup.

[SmilingCoyote]

Tracking? I don't know since. It's less often now than in the past. An
adversary noted to me that perhaps the droid nerds at either the original
carrier or Google might have been sticking their noses into it causing a
glitch between the Firefox tab pull up and the web sites popup. As these
things are closed systems else the Samsung gods cast it down, there's no
real way of knowing. Am still waiting for that jump chip and droid linux.
Just dreaming. Thanks for your input. Though short it applies a vector to
my thinking, giving me different directions to contemplate.
It has obscured 5 times since this post began from an hourly occurrence.
This thread is essentially dead.

As a eh huh he said, perhaps a trinary bug as is his style. And I realized
ah. Here's a picture for a thousand words.
