Summary
The WebCompat extension could expose a persistent browser UUID that persisted between containers and normal/private browsing mode, but not profiles. This was fixed in Firefox 140, Firefox ESR 115.25, Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird 140, and Thunderbird 128.12.
Risk Assessment
An attacker who enumerated resources from the extension could obtain a tracking identifier for the browser, potentially compromising user privacy.
