it's weird because the other script in that same .js, showing three random images from a .json list, also use canvas, and it's working fine even on Mullvad and Tor :S

Its because librewolf is adding fingerprinting protection on the canvas element and changes some of its functionality but not all of it.
Canvas elements are used to track and fingerprint folks through tor and mulvad etc.
But its also a pain because of your exact sitch. I run into broken canvas elements a lot with it and selectively disable canvas fingerprint protection
Well, I gonna try to minimize the use of canvas (and figure out why it works for one and not for the other) or just try to go without it. Thanks.
