STR:
- Start a trivial local web server from Python, by e.g. running this command from an empty directory:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8123
- Visit http://localhost:8123/
- Click the shield icon to the left of the URL bar.
ACTUAL RESULTS:
The UI says:
Blocking:
Cross-site tracking cookies >
...and if I click through for more details, it says in bold "Cross-site tracking cookies blocked" / "These cookies follow you from site to site", and then shows me an empty list of the alleged cookies.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
It should say "No trackers known to Nightly were detected on this page". That's what happens when I perform the STR in a fresh profile but instead visit http://example.org/ , for example.

Same version on macOS, panel says "No trackers known to Firefox were detected on this page." for me.

Yeah, this will probably get fixed by bug 1573605 but let's put it in triage.
Thanks!
