Hi.
Yup, that's me!

Thanks for reporting that error.
Sadly I was not able to replicate your bug (I tried the extension on IceCat and the site worked fine, but I couldn't try with IceWeasel because it doesn't seem to be available on my machine).
Looking through the logs it seems like there was some kind of special characters in your fonts list that the database didn't like, which is odd because I know it works with stuff like Chinese characters.

I hope I'm not asking too much, but it would help me greatly if you could go here https://valve.github.io/fingerprintjs2/ (another person's site) and fingerprint yourself, then PM me your js_fonts.
I don't think they collect any data if you're worried about privacy.
