User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131205030207 Steps to reproduce: turn on browser.tabs.remote restart FF debian sid with nightly on amd64 Actual results: no content in tabs, or xml error Expected results: multi-process ff
Same build, confirmed. Web pages don't show up, URL disappears. about:home says there is XML Parsing Error: undefined entity in <title>&abouthome.pageTitle;</title> about:newtab and about:config work.

Why is this nommed for tracking? It's not a config we're shipping at all.

ok, clearing.

Is this Australis specific?
WFM now with the same build: 2013-12-05-03-02-07-mozilla-central-firefox-28.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64 2013-12-05-03-02-07-mozilla-central-firefox-28.0a1.ru.linux-x86_64 But broke with the profile I used then. Worked in safe mode. Broke with all extensions disabled and RequestPolicy 1.0b enabled. Worked with RequestPolicy 1.0b also disabled. Broke with all non-RequestPolicy extensions enabled. ??? Broke when I installed RequestPolicy 1.0x on a new profile and then enabled .remote (couldn't install with .remote enabled). Still broken with the same profile in 2013-12-08-03-02-04-mozilla-central-firefox-28.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.
I can confirm that last comment. If I start nightly in a new profile then browser.tabs.remote works, even with Australis. (commenting from it right now) Adblock-plus and https-everywhere also work with browser.tabs.remote.
Scratch part of that last comment. The offending add-on is https-everywhere; while adblock-plus, cslite, refcontrol, greasemonkey, and stylish work with browser.tabs.remote. Now I can use my original profile.
Summary: browser.tabs.remote broken → https-everywhere breaks browser.tabs.remote
Confirmed: HTTPS Everywhere and RequestPolicy 0.5.28 each do it, too.
Summary: https-everywhere breaks browser.tabs.remote → Each of https-everywhere and requestpolicy (0.5.28 and 1.0beta) breaks browser.tabs.remote
Summary: Each of https-everywhere and requestpolicy (0.5.28 and 1.0beta) breaks browser.tabs.remote → https-everywhere and requestpolicy (0.5.28 and 1.0beta) breaks browser.tabs.remote
While "both" could be used here to make a complete sentence, and you correctly used "breaks" with each, each is superfluous and awkward without a generic pronoun, like "Each add-on that W, such as X and Y, breaks X."

This bug is receiving a lot of dupes. We might want to address this bug sooner than planned. btw, HTTPS Everywhere devs have already fixed most of their e10s bugs upstream.

I can't reproduce the blank pages described in comment 0, so I'm closing this bug WFM. I can still reproduce "HTTPS Everywhere breaks HTTP redirects" bug 997808 and a RequestPolicy UI bug, but those are unrelated to this bug report.
