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?
