Waterfox: Error accessing https://www.icloud.com

[Klaus1946]

Describe the bug

Trying to open https://www.icloud.com leads to a partial buildup of that site, eventually resulting in an unspecific Error message "Verbindungsfehler".

To Reproduce
Verbindungsfehler. Beim Versuch, eine Verbindung zum Server aufzubauen, ist Icloud auf einen Fehler gestoßen.

Expected behavior

To get to the login page

Additional context

[MrAlex94]

I can load and use various iCloud.com features without issue with Classic 2020.03.1 on macOS.

As a test, could you enable dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled and see if it makes a difference?

[colvacdir]

I was having the same issue with Classic 2020.03.1 and setting these preferences to 0 fixed it.

network.http.referer.XOriginTrimmingPolicy
network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy

[hawkeye116477]

@colvacdir These prefs are set to 0 by default.

[Klaus1946]

Sorry, I had some problems with the original form.
My device is a PC,
OS is Windows 10 1909

I have enabled dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled and restarted Waterfox. No change in behaviour on the Icloud login page.

network.http.referer.XOriginTrimmingPolicy
network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy

are both set to 0, I havent't changed the default.

Customer support at Apple mumbled something vague about certificate problems. ???

Any other ideas?

Best regards,
Klaus

Would it be possible to get a screenshot of the error? Curious as to why it won't work on your PC.

... and, btw, Waterfox was in safe mode, with no addons running.

I can't run a virtual machine (to compare) at the time of writing … @Klaus1946 have you enabled fingerprint resistance?

about:config?filter=fingerprint

[Klaus1946]

Yes, and now I have disabled it, restarted, no change.

Thanks to all for the effort to help me.

Login fine here with latest WF classic Mac, also in Germany. Might be a Windows issue? @Klaus1946 , can you boot a Linux live distro, install Waterfox and try with that?

[Klaus1946]

Changing _resist.fingerprinting_ to false did the trick. Somehow I missed the message from grahamperrin or made some error. So many thanks, belatedly.

And thanks to all the others who tried to help.

[LeeBinder]

Very good. But I don't have that entry in about:config. Do you mean privacy.resistFingerprinting? That's what I have (and it is set to false to begin with).
