Very cool research and wonderfully written.

I was expecting an ad for their product somewhere towards the end, but it wasn't there!

I do wonder though: why would this company report this vulnerability to Mozilla if their product is fingeprinting?

Isn't it better for the business (albeit unethical) to keep the vulnerability private, to differentiate from the competitors? For example, I don't see many threat actors burning their zero days through responsible disclosure!

We don't use vulnerabilities in our products.

They probably are not relying on it and disclosure means others can't either.
