Comment (by acat):
I think this is coming from the pref observer in torbutton.js.
It keeps in sync several prefs, amongst them
`network.cookie.cookieBehavior` and `privacy.firstparty.isolate`. In this
case, changing the `network.cookie.cookieBehaviour` via UI is indirectly
flipping `privacy.firstparty.isolate`. And if the latter is false then
`firstPartyDomain` is not populated and circuit display will always show
`--unknown--`, the catch-all circuit.
Is this pref syncing still logic necessary? If that's not the case, here
is a patch which just removes this dependency between those two prefs,
which should solve this issue:
