This only happens when you upgrade from 1.7 (18.11.30.03). On clean install of 1.7(18.12.3.22) it logs in but you can only see the page when shields is down. Shields up just keeps a blank page.

Probably something with content rules.
Probably not content rules actually, if shields don't impact it.

This does not happen to me when going 1.6->1.7.
Could we revisit this ticket once QA will test 1.6 upgrades?

[srirambv]

@iccub all issues with QA/Yes will be rechecked once the migration build is available.

[jhreis]

This should be fixed now due to adblock file upgrade. @srirambv can you please retest?

[srirambv]

Checked on migration as well. Login works fine. Page doesn't keep redirecting like before. Closing as fixed
