> This is **unacceptable**.
I can't stress this enough, as I said on the blog comments the original
Mozilla bugzilla report makes no sense since with a proxy (such as Tor)
network OS fingerprinting is moot so why fall for it? And it's such a let
down to see great privacy people on the Mozilla side (that I won't mention
out of respect) fall for such a cheap trap. (PS: As mentioned earlier, the
argument ("X can be found using Y anyway in Z circumstances, so let's
expose X directly") itself is false)
Anyone willing to make a followup bugzilla report to get this fixed on the
Mozilla side as well?
