CanvasBlocker causing Facebook to think my browser is outdated

[emcdarby]

When I go into Facebook, I get a popup in the bottom left corner saying "Your browser is no longer supported. Please update to a newer version for the best experience."

Description

The issue happens then I go into Facebook while I have CanvasBlocker enabled.

I think this might be a bug because I find it only happens when CanvasBlocker is enabled.

Expected Behaviour

What should happen is I shouldn't be getting this message.

Current Behaviour

Like I said, I get this "Your browser is no longer supported. Please update to a newer version for the best experience." popup in the bottom left corner while I have CanvasBlocker enabled.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a fresh Firefox profile
2. Log into Facebook while CanvasBlocker is enabled.

Context

It effects me because it makes me worried that I may get blocked from Facebook.

Your Environment

• Firefox version incl. 32- or 64-bit: LibreWolf 118.0.1-1

LibreWolf 118.0.1-1

Firefox 118 was released over a year ago - on 2023-09-26. Even if you were on ESR you would be on 128 by now. The current release is 131. It wouldn't surprise me if Facebook requires a feature such as Segmenter API that 118 doesn't have.

There is no reason what-so-ever to run an unsupported browser version

Alright, I just found there was an up

Alright, I just found there was an update to LibreWolf, which is a privacy oriented fork of Firefox, and updated it to LibreWolf 131.0.2-1 to see if that solves this issue or not, even though I will mention it here if it continues to happen. By the way, I accidentally closed this issue, but then immediately reopened it upon realizing my mistake as I'm not closing it yet until I know its resolved.
