 There are rare cases where the first-part isolation breaks if the Web
 developer Network tab is open. This got first reported on our blog:
 ​https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-65a5-released#comment-224102

 Steps to reproduce (works in the alpha series on Windows at least):

 1) Start a fresh Tor Browser and set the Torbutton log level to "3"
 2) Open the Network tab in the Web developer console (Ctrl + Shift + Q)
 3) Go to ​https://torproject.org
 4) Reload the page with the arrow in the URL bar

 Result:

 Torbutton INFO: tor SOCKS:
 https://www.torproject.org/static/css/bootstrap.css.map via--
 unknown--:878a267349f5b487247d0a0175ae27f2

 It is actually only the request for one resource that is affected. And
 having the Network tab open is crucial for reproducing the bug.
