Firefox: Test fails with error "SecurityError: The operation is insecure" if webdriver's option restart is set to false and scenario doesn't contain amOnPage()

See original GitHub issue

I hit it when had the 1st scenario containing only REST helper calls. But simply the issue occurs if there is no WebDriver call I.amOnPage() in the 1st scenario

What are you trying to achieve?

Test should pass in Chrome/Firefox

What do you get instead?

Test passes in Chrome only. It fails on Firefox

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.
