Hey there,

maybe this is a problem or intended functionality?

If I set a single webpage as my Firefox "home page" to load it directly after start up PB is showing a green Status with 0. Looking into PB it's telling me "Hurray, no Trackers detected" and there is no list of domains in PB. Looking at my startup page I see every single ad - nothing is handled or blocked even if I manually specified some domains to be blocked.
Do I start FFox with an empty page and then visit only the page I set as startup page PB is turning red seeing a lot of domains to block. Opening PB I can see all settings of PB itself and manualy changed by me. A lot of the ads are blocked.

I do not see why there snhould be a difference between the home page and directly opening that page . It feels like "home page" is completely whitelisted.

Recognized in Firefox 58, I think it happend to FFox 57.x , too.
PB Version 2018.1.22

Best regards
Alex.
