Description of problem: Starting with the recent Fedora 29 Firefox 67 RPM, if you do not have Firefox running and you attempt to start it to load a specific URL, by running 'firefox SOME-URL', Firefox will often start with the URL either not loaded (for me, showing a blank page, which is my startup default page) or not correctly loaded. This seems to happen most often when Firefox has not been running for a while. As far as I can see, no error messages are printed by Firefox when this happens. I am using an X session, not Wayland, with a custom session setup and window manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-67.0-2.fc29.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Fairly consistently, but not completely. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Don't have Firefox running, and wait a minute or two. 2. Run 'firefox https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-143_metric_e.html' Actual results: Often I get a blank page, and not the Environment Canada page for Toronto. Expected results: Consistently get the Environment Canada page for Toronto. Additional info: I have not tried to reproduce this in a clean Firefox profile/environment, so it is possible that this is something to do with my Firefox profile.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
