Bookmarklet works on one page but not another

I have this this tinyurl bookmarklet (I had to add X to this to get past the SE blocker ... curious why bit.ly was not blocked above):

javascript:void(location.href='httpXs://tinXyurl.com/create.php?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href))

It works on:

https://play.google.com

But does not work on:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Why? Is the page blocking this somehow, and if so, why would it ever need to do that?

I'm asking on stackoverflow, and not on webapps.stackexchange.com, as I suspect this is a browser specific problem.

Browser version: 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Update #1

Verified as working on Chrome: Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Update #2

Found a bug report in Firefox at Bug 866522 that might or might not be the root cause.

Update #3

Inside Bug 866522 at Comment 28 refers to security.csp.enable to false in about:config. I did that in my Firefox, and the bookmarklet started to work. Whether or not that is a viable workaround, remains to be determined.

There are two extra X's in your bookmarklet: httpXs and tinXyurl.com (should be https and tinyurl.com). I'm guessing you added them because StackOverflow blocks tinyurl.com create URLs.

I tried the bookmarklet without the extra X's in Chrome and it worked flawlessly with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging. The problem might be with your version of FireFox.
