my local FireFox is only 97/100; which susprises me...


Strangely I get 99/100 and it is totally smooth but pauses for just a second at item 68. Red text also appears in the very upper left that says " YOU SHOULD NOT SEE THIS AT ALL "

This is with all extensions off using Firefox ESR

That's also "only" 97% in Firefox.


I was also seeing only 97% in Firefox.

Disabling the LastPass add-on brought it to 100%. I'm guessing you also use LastPass?


That's a very fingerprintable observation.


Most rendering oddities are not directly detectable by JS on the page, with the notable exception of the <canvas> element.

Though I suppose rendering differences that affect z-order or visibility could be detected indirectly, by listening for pointer events on elements that are "supposed to be" visible/hidden.


Isn't one of the main uses of JS to get the contents of elements on the page? That "97%" and "100%" would be clearly evident.


You are of course correct. I should not try to think about software at 4am! :)


You're right, disable LastPass and I get a 100%... Strange.


I get 100% using Firefox 104.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10. Maybe it's related to the platform or addons? Could it be uMatrix or something blocking some kind of behavior that would be questionable on a normal webpage?


I get 100% also, using Librewolf fork of FF (104.0.2). RFP is on and uBlock Origin enabled.

edit: MacOS and Windows.


Also 100% on Firefox Mobile 104.2.0


100% on FF 104.0 for Ubuntu


Try disabling addons. 10ten reader, for example, is known to alter pages' style and to break Acid3. There may be other addons doing the same.


100/100 on my Firefox, and it's fairly customized with a bunch of extensions and non-default settings to the extent some sites refuse to work normally and I have to either ignore them or open them in an "alternative" "clean" browser.


Huh. I get 100% with 104.0.2 on Ubuntu.


100% - Firefox 103.0.2 on Mac OS


99% :-/


Try “https”?


Strangely I get 99% with https and 100% with http

On FF for Android it hits 100% but the image is incorrect (there is red text in the top-left).


> Strangely I get 99% with https and 100% with http

Same (FF 104.0.2 on Mac, with uBO).

The failing test is:

    Test 64 failed: object.data isn't absolute


That test is actually assuming the url is http, and doesn't work on https.


try click on A for more info. In stable i get 100/100 (97/100 in beta, but with privacy.trackingprotection.enabled=true and privacy.resistFingerprinting)
