When attempting to log-in to a website (Credit Karma) I have previously visited many times with FireFox, I was presented with something new - something I eventually have come to believe is the Canvas Permission Prompt, as described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting
Not knowing what the prompt wanted from me, I foolishly clicked on the "Don't Allow" button feeling that was the safest thing to do, but realized only as I was clicking the button that the "Always remember my decision" checkbox was default-checked. And as I feared, now whenever I go to the site login page, I am unable to click into the User Name or Password boxes to fill-in my info and nor can I click on the "Log In" button. All other links on the page still seem to work, though.
I have attempted these possible fixes in the about:config list:
1. privacy.resistFingerprinting - I had previously set this to True as per suggestions from several YouTube posters expounding their opinions on safety and security and have been operating with this setting for many months. I tried setting it back to its default False state and restarting FireFox, but the problem still persists.
2. privacy.resistFingerprinting.autoDeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts and
privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtract - These two looked interesting because of the "Canvas" text and I found them to be set to their default True values since the installation of FireFox. I have individually set them each to False followed by a FireFox restart, but still the problem persists.
So how do I get the Canvas Permission Prompt to be reset/restored so I can use the login page to get to my account.
Thx
