Broken icons? [solved: browser.display.use_document_fonts which is no longer used]

[privacyguy123]

Anybody know which setting is affecting these buttons being able to load?

Which site?

I have often seen something like that if svg.disabled = true.

Those are ligatures - see FirefoxBar/HeaderEditor#46 - It is caused by browser.display.use_document_fonts

You have two options

• get the extension dev to code around it
• log a bugzilla that the pref should not apply to extensions (not sure if it will get any priority as the pref is rarely used) - but who knows, some of these are trivial bits of code: example that svg pref not applying to extensions - for years it lingered, but then gk from tor project opened a ticket and it was done with 2 or 3 days

That is an extension, right?

These are icons on a website page - seems strange the fonts option affects it but you are right, yes, that fixes it!

Is having fonts turned on really that big of a privacy leak if I have a totally stock system? Surely I look more "unique" having 3 fonts show up via fingerprinting APIs than the usual x Windows has?

pref was made inactive in AF v82, and since AF v91 has been under a DON'T BOTHER section, hence changing the labels
