Comment (by cypherpunks):

 So, that's due to Firefox doesn't recognize Win 10 renderer:
 {{{
 D3D11_COMPOSITING Blocklisted; failure code
 BLOCKLIST_FEATURE_FAILURE_UNKNOWN_DEVICE_VENDOR
 }}}
 that changes the fingerprint and triggers:
 {{{
 Error: WebGL warning: Disallowing antialiased backbuffers due to
 blacklisting.  canvas.js:180:11
 }}}
 Forcing MSAA fixes that error, but doesn't change the fingerprint.
