    Ah, this one is an old github post. Firefox version 86 is mentioned in the table.

    Back then Firefox wasn’t vulnerable due to a bug that caused the browser to always grab a new favicon even if it was cached.
    Nowadays the Total Cookie Protection ensures that the websites are isolated and the favicon tracking fails.
