An attacker who enumerated resources from the WebCompat extension could have obtained a persistent UUID that identified the browser, and persisted between containers and normal/private browsing mode, but not profiles. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 140, Firefox ESR 115.25, Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird 140, and Thunderbird 128.12.
