Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:30 mcs]:
 > Does it make sense to use Preferences::AddBoolVarCache() for the
 privacy.suppressModifierKeyEvents pref?

 > Has this been tested on Linux and Windows? I tested on Mac OS using your
 https://arthuredelstein.github.io/tordemos/keyboard.html page but I could
 do more testing.

 These are both good suggestions. I try them out tomorrow (Wednesday).

 > Do we have any automated test for our keyboard event fingerprinting
 defenses? If not, we should file a ticket so we remember to add some.
