Comment (by Thorin):

 @gk ... duplicate of #8213 ?

 @pf.team - see
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8213#comment:5 : this has
 been broken since Firefox 61 .. and, IMO, this is not a FPing vector
 (history per tab will always be between 1 and 50: it's not a stable or
 meaningful metric) nor can the History API leak anything about the tab's
 history
