We intend to enable font visibility restrictions in private browsing
windows from Fx118. To reduce entropy exposed by fonts, we restrict the
visibility of fonts to websites. The protection prevents websites from
accessing all non-system and non-langpack fonts.

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1849903

Standard: n/a

Platform coverage:
It apply on all desktop platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. We
won't cover Android momentarily, but we are working on it.

Preference:
The font visibility restrictions in PBM is behind the pref
"privacy.fingerprintingProtection.pbmode". We will set this pref to true to
enable this protection in private browsing windows. For normal windows,
there is another pref called "privacy.fingerprintingProtection" to control
the behavior.

This feature was previously discussed in this "Intent to prototype" thread:
