Attached: 2 images Since I’m the idiot learning this by filing bug reports, I thought I’d pass it on to all other #FireFox users on here. If you enable resistFingerprinting in about:config, the web site will start showing you weird stripy graphics anywhere an HTML5 canvas graphic would be generated. To fix this for sites you trust is to click on the tiny graphic icon to the left of the URL and allow use of your HTML5 canvas. Big thanks to the patient Bugzilla guys for dealing with my bug report and the solution.

My apologies to the Bugzilla team for wasting their time holding my hand on this one. Would have honestly never noticed the little “HTML5” info icon to the left of the URL bar though without their help.

    Different graphics stacks (graphics hardware, their drivers (of which there are different ones for all major OSes), the display server (on Linux)) draw things slightly differently. As I remember this especially applies to text rendering using different fonts, but slightly tilted lines, bent lines, and color blending is probably also part of it, and more.
