 Replying to [comment:43 gk]:
 > We got a pref to disable that "feature" with Firefox 52 ESR in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288359. We might want to use
 that for now and keep thinking harder about a better solution.

 I like this approach. Here's a patch that sets the pref to false. And we
 could keep this ticket open to work on a patch to homogenize the
 fingerprint instead in the future.
