(Whiteboard: [fingerprinting][fp-triaged])

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1369303#c39 showed us that when one toggles p.rP on, it may not take effect right away for currently open pages. In that instance, reloading the page updated the cached preference, and everything was resolved. However, there are at least two instances where we may need to improve the behavior: - Background Workers - A future 'Disable Resist Fingerprinting for this Origin' feature Additionally, if anything else besides Background Workers persists after a page reload they would count too, but I can't think of anything like that. (But I bet I'm missing something.)
