 Okay, I found a way to reproduce at least one issue:

 1) Open a new tab and go to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ (after it loaded
 the circuit should be visible)
 2) Choose Search -> Advanced Search
 3) Click on Detailed Bug Information and enter `[tor]` in the Whiteboard
 row
 4) Click on Search and after you got your results checking the circuit
 display does not show any curcuit anymore

 Reloading does not help either. I am not sure if this is caused by our
 fixup done in this bug yet or whether that is an additional issue we
 overlooked so far.
