The flaw allows threat actors to fingerprint and follow users despite privacy protections. Mozilla and Tor Browser users are being advised to apply the latest security patches to address the issue.
Why it matters: This vulnerability bypasses privacy modes in Firefox and Tor, directly compromising tracking protection; patching is critical for users relying on these browsers for anonymity.
