Hi,

Icecat 60 hides QR code of https://web.whatsapp.com.  I need to use the
debugger to display it.  It was working well with Icecat 52.

This seems to be related to the "privacy.resistFingerprinting" setting
in "about:config".  This option is set to "true" by default in IceCat.
I found that by changing it to "false", which I guess is the default for
upstream Firefox, the QR code displays properly on the above page.

Does changing the setting fix the problem for you as well?
