Cross-context tracking via persistent extension UUID
Published Jun 24, 2025 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Information disclosure in affected Firefox and Thunderbird releases allows remote attackers to obtain a persistent UUID that identifies the browser. WebCompat exposes files through web_accessible_resources, allowing pages that enumerate those resources to recover the extension UUID instead of receiving a nonpersistent identifier. Visiting attacker-controlled web content is the gate; the identifier correlates containers and normal or private browsing within one profile, but does not cross profiles.
