Comment (by mikeperry):

 Firefox 38:
  * Fingerprinting concerns:
   * KeyboardEvent.location and especially KeyboardEvent.code may leak
 keyboard hardware details
   * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/picture has
 device-specific media queries
   * The User Timing API (Performance.*) may be another high-res timesource
   * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextEncoder may leak
 OS encoding differences?
  * Tracking issues:
   * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/BroadcastChannel
 allows cross-site communication
   * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GlobalFetch/fetch and
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request may need caching
 isolation
   * WebSockets are available in WebWorkers. We need to double-check
 against fresh DNS leaks.

 Firefox 37:
  * Fingerprinting concerns:
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent.key#Key_values
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OfflineAudioContext
 may leak OS information about audio processing capabilities?
  * Tracking issues:
    * IndexedDB is available to WebWorkers. We should verify it remains
 disabled.

 Firefox 36:
  * Fingerprinting:
    * WebGL 2.0
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/enumerateDevices may leak info about
 connected hardware
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AnimationPlayer may
 expose high-res timestamps?
  * Tracking concerns:
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol claims to be
 runtime-wide. I wonder if there are any potential leaks here?
    * EME first appeared
  * General notes:
    * -remote was removed from the command line args. Does this mean our
 remoting prevention hacks may break?

 Firefox 35:
  * Fingerprinting:
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorLanguage
    * Canvas filters: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/filter
    * Resource Timing API
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002855)
    * ImageCapture API may leak hardware details (like camera
 availability)?

 Firefox 34:
  * Fingerprinting:
    * Performance.now is exposed to WebWorkers

 Firefox 33:
  * Nothing I noticed

 Firefox 32:
  * Fingerprinting:
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorLanguage.languages and
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/languagechange.
  * Tracking:
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Data_Store_API off
 by default, but we'll want to keep an eye on this

 I will be editing this comment as I dig into all of these items in more
 detail.
