    @rebane2001 I've got a dumb question: Is this something that can be mitigated with a uBlock filter? It reads like it could be but I don't know this stuff well.

        @rebane2001 uh oh
        Why did it take them 4 years to (not) fix this?
        I really should go ahead and disable js everywhere

                    @rebane2001 Clearly, @mozilla's choices around not implementing certain APIs is paying off.

                                        @rebane2001 really cool work. Didn't realize this sort of bug class even existed. Hope they up the bounty; this seems worth more than $1000
