_well_ what about web sites that use information about your browser that isn't stored in cookies? Check out https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/
Unless Firefox has a story to prevent this kind of tracking, don't rely on multiple profiles for any important separation you're trying to keep.

- ChrisSD 9y agoThey do have tracking protection (basically a content blocker) but by default it's only enabled in private mode.
- genghizkhan 9y agoIf you enable 'privacy.resistFingerprinting' in your about:config, you get substantially harder to track. The caveat is that there's a small (albeit noticeable) performance delta.
- viseztrance 9y agoThat attribute is part of ongoing work and it's disabled for a reason. Currently it doesn't protect you against canvas or webgl fingerprinting.
- genghizkhan 9y agoI think you can turn webgl off or disable extensions and use the addon CanvasBlocker for that until the Tor Uplift project gets completed.
