"Resist Fingerprinting" is working globally for all websites and it isn't possible to create exceptions. What RFP feaTures do you want to disable in particular ?

Note that RFP is more aimed at the Tor project. Using RFP in a Firefox release has its disadvantages as this not only affects the user agent, but also places you in the UTC timezone and gives you rounded screen dimensions and can give font issues with locally installed fonts. There are other ways like using extensions or Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection to deal with specific details you want to block or change.

Hello Sagnikadhikary15

Yes you can change, Disable Flash. If you are a Chrome user, then you should not worry about flash because Chrome will stop using it by the end of 2020. Revisit extensions and plugins. Keep all of your software updated. Use Incognito or private mode. Use Tor. Use a VPN. Ditch the smartphone.

Thank You

FYI: The flash player was taken out of service some time ago by its creator; Adobe.
