[UNRELATED] Easyjet infinite loading when booking

I cannot get past the hotel page when trying to book an easyjet flight, with only noscript and betterprivacy installed as addons and all scripts allowed.
The other noscript settings were left to the defaults.

URL: easyjet.com
Test case:
-Noscript with "Allow scripts globally"
-Try to book a flight, then after clicking "skip" when it offers hotels, it shows a loading animation which never ends.

Test in separate firefox profile with no addons: Page skips to car hire after hotels, and then finally to the payment page.

Note:
I noticed that when clicking skip, easyjet moves between the following URLs:
easyjet.com/en/buy/hotels
easyjet.com/en/buy/cars
easyjet.com/en/buy/payment

Ok, apparently, this has nothing to do with NoScript, but is somehow due to Firefox's private browsing mode.
When enabled, Easyjet seems unable to load the car hire page with Europcar, etc... :/

Tested using a clean firefox profile, with private browsing enabled and then disabled.
Also worked when testing a normal firefox profile and then opening a private browsing window from there...

edit: I suspect it's bad website design, but can't figure out how to contact the easyjet webmaster.
Anyway, posted a firefox bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1362739
