However 0.9.1.2 is not

Sorry if not clear enough, I meant disable on Homepage only when restart FF in private browsing.

Your picture shows that for the page about:blank, matrix filtering is disabled. Matrix filtering is disabled by default for about:blank. Just turn it on if you want it on.

The page shows "about:blank" after Firefox restarted. I have set Firefox settings to "always use private browsing"

Another try, after restart Firefox

Then I refresh Firefox browser (not touching anything in uMatrix)

Btw I using Firefox add-on Personal Menu in restarting the browser, ain't sure if it related to the issue

The two first images are two different scopes. One for which matrix filtering is disabled (blank.about-scheme), and one for which matrix filtering is enabled (yahoo.com). Matrix filtering can be enabled/disabled on a per-scope basis. The about-scheme scope has matrix filtering disabled by default.

I don't any issue so far.

Weird... I suppose it's my end problem after restart Firefox, Matrix filtering shows "blank.about-scheme" I'll try figure it out.

Thanks heaps for your time Mr Gorhill

Matrix filtering shows "blank.about-scheme"

You mean it shows blank.about-scheme while on a Yahoo page?

If so, then this is an issue, and I will look into it.

@gorhill

You mean it shows blank.about-scheme while on a Yahoo page?

I think he does. If you look closely at this screenshot you can see that it's definitely not a blank page behind the matrix. I think it's incorrectly displaying blank.about-scheme.

I can't reproduce what you have. I did set private browsing in about:config, restarted FF to open on the tab last opened, but it opens with no tab. I will need exact steps to reproduce, something I can follow without guessing anything.

@gorhill Can you reproduce with these steps?

1. Go to about:preferences
2. Click on the drop-down menu for When Firefox starts: and change it to Show my home page
3. Set your Home Page to about:blank|https://www.yahoo.com/
4. Restart Firefox
5. Firefox should open with about:blank and yahoo.com tabs with the blank.about-scheme scope

Edit: Not sure if it this is related... Repeat the same steps above and
6. Go to about:addons and you will see that the scope is also blank.about-scheme instead of addons.about-scheme

@Blutgang . Thanks alot for your explaining!

@gorhill, yes it shows blank.about-scheme while on a Yahoo page.
My situation

1. Firefox options > about:preferences#general : When Firefox starts - Show my home page

2. Firefox options > about:preferences#privacy : Firefox will never remember history

3. Restart Firefox
   It shows "blank.about-scheme" on homepage regardless what sites I've set and after refresh browser all is ok

Opening a previous session on Firefox will always set the scope to blank.about-scheme for all (non-cached, which are all of them) tabs until a refresh occurs (new tabs behave normally).

It looks very similar to this problem.

My custom about:config settings can be found here.

Any news about this?

This is really a serious one, because any links and things which should be blocked are not blocked per default in such a case!
