We found a stable Firefox identifier linking all your private Tor identities

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

FingerprintJS reports a privacy vulnerability in Firefox-based browsers that lets websites derive a stable, process-wide identifier from IndexedDB ordering, undermining unlinkability in private sessions and Tor. Mozilla issued fixes in Firefox 150 and ESR 140.10.0, and the root cause is tied to how IndexedDB databases are handled in private browsing contexts.
