Hi,

I'm using Librewolf on macos and have been using it for a while. While scrolling through my settings, I just noticed this message in "Privacy & Security" right under the Librewolf notice about Enhanced tracking protection:

"You're using Resist Fingerprinting (RFP), which replaces some of LibreWolf's fingerprinting protection settings. This might cause some sites to break."

Is it normal to have this?

I have deleted the whole librewolf folder under ~/library/Application Support in order to re-set the browser to its default configuration and I still see this. Weird thing is that on my other laptop running windows, this message does not appear.

I’m fairly certain RFP is enabled by default. This can cause sites to break as you will be flagged as a potential bot/scraper.

One of the sites that comes to mind is Twitch which refuses you to log in.
