Firefox Privacy Enhanced Mode inadvertently blocking OneTrust privacy software domains
We use a privacy technology vendor named OneTrust to power much of our privacy infrastructure.
This morning, two websites reported Firefox users are encountering site functionality problems when trying to exercise their privacy rights, such as opting out of sharing data and targeted advertising. My team investigated and was able to reproduce the reported bug.
We discovered the cause of the bug is that Firefox's Privacy Enhanced Mode is by default blocking two domains from our privacy vendor OneTrust which are critical to the functioning of our CMP (Consent Management Platform): - cookielaw.org - onetrust.com
These two domains are used solely for the essential services needed to run our privacy software. They're not used for marketing, sales, or advertising. Blocking them not only causes site functionality issues it keeps our users from being able to exercise their privacy rights.
I've attached two screenshots here showing the network calls and domains.
Can Mozilla please quickly review this bug and remove these two domains from the blocklist powering Privacy Enhanced Mode?
