Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I confirmed that the proposed fix solves #23322.

 Unfortunately, it does not fix #24943. In fact, that issue occurs in Tor
 Browser 8.x even if NoScript is completely disabled and even when all of
 our bundled add-ons are disabled. The problem does not occur in Firefox
 ESR 52.6.0. All of these things seem to point to a browser patch as the
 cause.
