Hello, I am the one who reported the issue to Mr. McMahon. I didn't
write here because I thought it isn't a GNU IceCat issue, rather it is
FSF's Jitsi instance issue. Sorry about the inconvenience.

In the beginning, I thought it is related to the browser's user-agent
string. Because I installed `User-Agent Switcher and Manager' add-on and
then I could access the `jitsi.member.fsf.org' website. After that, I
noticed that useragent string doesn't include "IceCat" as you said. I
started to spoof Navigator API with CanvasBlocker add-on, which helped
me to bypass the issue. I didn't want to mess with IceCat's defaults in
the first place but disabling privacy.resistFingerprinting seems to work
with Jitsi. Ironically, it seems like enabling fingerprinting makes my
browser more recognizable, if I understood correctly.
Thank you for maintaining this browser both for installation scripts and
Guix package definition.
Also, this is the first time I'm writing to a mailing list with Gnus, so
please let me know if I didn't follow some conventions.
