LibreWolf: Claude.ai freezes

If Claude streams responses fine in Firefox but randomly freezes in LibreWolf, you've hit a fingerprinting resistance quirk — not a Claude bug per se:

LibreWolf's Resist Fingerprinting (RFP) deliberately reduces Date.now() precision. This can make consecutive calls return the same value. Claude's frontend assumes time always moves forward — when the delta is zero, it loops forever and the tab freezes.
Create ~/.config/librewolf/librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg with the content:
defaultPref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", false);
