Why does the @font-face work in a Private Tab, but not in a normal Tab?

I consistently find that the @font-face does not work in Firefox unless I use a Private Tab, but I prefer to use a regular Tab so that I can keep track of what pages I have visited. In a Private Tab the Android app displays Hebrew with cantillation marks as nicely as Windows does using the very same font. This is probably an unintended bug, as I cannot imagine why you would want Private Tabs to work better than the regular ones. The css function in question is:

@font-face { font-family: 'Shlomo LB'; src: url('../ShlomoLightBold.ttf') format('truetype'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this up. There is an open issue in Bugzilla - src:local() @font-face rules doesn't work on Android. But in this case you are mentioning a src:url, so I don't know if they are related.

Also, can you please confirm if you are using NoScript or any other plugin on your browser and if there are settings that differ for the normal tabs vs. private tabs (noscript has an option to block @font-face).

Would it be possible for you to create a sample for testing this?

Thank you
