Waterfox: ipon.hu website completely broken under Waterfox Classic

[mzso]

Describe the bug
Blank tab is shown.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://ipon.hu/magazin/cikk/a-koffein-sok-elete'

Expected behavior
Functioning website

My configuration

• Device: PC
• OS: Windows 8.1
• Version: Classic 2020.02

Additional context
Adding a bogus user agent helps somewhat, though the website will lack some content.
Additionally in my main profile the website keeps refreshing constantly. I couldn't figure out why.

Please try 2020.02.1

@grahamperrin So you haven't that problem?

[grahamperrin]

Installing now. In the meantime it seems reasonable to not continue with an outdated installation.

No difference.

[grahamperrin]

My virtual machine just froze, before the freeze I got the site working with a Linux-specific UA override for Firefox 60.

Whilst I restart the VM here, please try this terse string for the site:

Firefox/60.0

[hawkeye116477]

Seems that works only if you make override for all sites, doesn't work only for ipon.hu.

[grahamperrin]

I have this at (for example) https://ipon.hu/shop/csoport/notebook-szamitogep/notebook with the terse string for https://ipon.hu/:

• Firefox on the screen to the right
• 2020.02.1 on Kubuntu Manjaro Linux.

At a glance, window content appears the same on both screens. (Please, am I missing something?)

Same result as with a random string for ipon.

Try the URL I shared. It has a blank recommened section and missing comments:
(Actually there are two comments)

[grahamperrin]

Thanks,

Try the URL I shared.

– that's where I began.

Seeing no difference there (at a glance), I clicked through to a different area of the site.

I have this at (for example) https://ipon.hu/shop/csoport/notebook-szamitogep/notebook with the terse string for https://ipon.hu/:

For me general.useragent.override.ipon.hu doesn't works, page looks broken, this only works if I use general.useragent.override .

Please visit:

• about:config?filter=privacy.resistFingerprinting

Is the value false?

[grahamperrin]

@hawkeye116477 a long shot (maybe irrelevant) … do you (also) have a CAPTCHA before the site can be visited?

[hawkeye116477]

@grahamperrin Yes, I have captcha.

Yes. Should I change it to true? It seems to work on my test profile but I can hardly check with the main because the website still keeps reloading like crazy, and I can't figure out why.

(I get no captcha, maybe that's done for foreign IP-s.)

[grahamperrin]

Thanks,

Should I change it to true?

No, false is the default – is what I have here with the working views of the pages.

At this point I might normally suggest testing with a new profile (with the given UA override), however it's remarkable that _neither_ of you has a working view of the site.

I was testing with a new profile. And setting it to true amusingly fixed the page. (Even for the main profile considering appearance. It just keeps crazily reloading, which I'm starting to suspect is a separate issue.)

[grahamperrin]

OK, maybe the site requires a different (more specific) override on Windows 8.1.

I just installed on Windows 10 …

[grahamperrin]

Firefox/60.0 appears to work for me with Windows 10:

I'm vaguely reminded of an issue from a few months ago, I'll do some digging …

[grahamperrin]

Towards an explanation for the _sense_ of randomness (inconsistent test results) …

Networking

IPv4 here at home.

Do either of you have IPv6 enabled?

(Waterfox aside: from maybe three or four years ago I have a vague memory of an issue that involved IPv6 and a content delivery network …)

I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think my ONT even supports ipv6

[hawkeye116477]

I have IPv4.

Seems that you used some extension, in case of browser's built-in settings, override for specific site doesn't works (https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/1471#issuecomment-593124163).

Update: Now I get message that website owner banned me based on browser's signature....
