Feel free to read the forum rules: Forum Rules
I don't see any reason to delete my first substantial comment:
From experience: DO NOT set privacy.resistFingerprinting to true. It's a COMMON MISTAKE. So common they have a bug about it [BMO link] - many bugs about it in fact. It is pretty much supposed to be for use in TorBrowser only. Causes tons of problems.

I suppose it was a bit strong. But better than nothing no?

EDIT: whoops, in my post list, it looked like it had been deleted. Actually: This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors.

I did not remove any of Your msg, if that happened, probably was a different staff person.

Also, in this community, all the messages of a new user are sent automatically to moderate queue until You become more active posting in the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone!

Yes, we're all good.

(I know you did not remove any of my messages, hence the EDIT I added (and that you quoted in your reply!) and have just added emphases to.).
My first substantial comment was approved and got a like too.
:cool:

It seems I've hit a glitch.

I'm being shown this message:

  • How about a picture for your account?
    You’ve posted in the forums, but your profile picture isn’t as unique as you are – it’s just a letter.
    Have you considered visiting your user profile and uploading a picture that represents you?
    It’s easier to follow discussions and find interesting people in conversations when everyone has a unique profile picture!
but Account details | MalwareTips Forums displays:

  • Your full account details are not currently editable.
I guess the message is premature - I haven't participated enough to add a photo?
