Flagging for your attention. Behaviour seen in 57 (Beta 57.0b4) and 58 (Nightly build id 20170930100302). Bug already submitted so shared specifics from this WebExtension to assist their further investigation. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402110#c3

Workaround:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", (event) => {
    // Fix for Fx57 bug where bundled page loaded using
    // browser.windows.create won't show contents unless resized.
    // See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402110
    browser.windows.getCurrent((win) => {
        browser.windows.update(win.id, {width:win.width+1})
    })
});

Add workaround in version 0.0.15.
