Comment (by ma1):

 I've tried repeating the steps outlined in commment #7 not 3 but at least
 30 times, with no results: the browser keeps behaving normally,
 unfortunately :(

 Of course I did not even try 17rc7 (or rc8, which I've released some
 minutes ago), keeping 16 stable which ships with a fresh 8.0a10.

 I'll keep testing on the RCs from now on, since 10.1.8.17 is about to be
 released and dramatically changes the way some possibly related subsystems
 work (hopefully reducing their side effects).

 Here's my compatibility.ini file, in case it helps:

 {{{
 [Compatibility]
 LastVersion=60.1.0_20180204020101/20180204020101
 LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-gcc3
 LastPlatformDir=C:\Users\Giorgio\Desktop\TB8\Browser
 LastAppDir=C:\Users\Giorgio\Desktop\TB8\Browser\browser
 }}}
