Details

(Whiteboard: [domsecurity-backlog2])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

Enable privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config
Run e.g. my game in the browser ( http://www.axosnake.tk )

Actual results:

Game doesn't run smoothly

Expected results:

Game runs at least nearly as performant as without privacy.resistFingerprinting

I confirmed this is because of the timer resolution.

Blocks: fingerprinting-breakage

I can reproduce this on Firefox Beta 69.0b9 and Firefox Nightly 70.0a1.

Thank you for reporting!

We improved the precision of the timers and the game in question is gone, so I'm going to call this working now.
