 Thanks :) Yup, that was the ticket. Wow, 4 years. That ticket is about the
 functions added in FF25+ - e.g like those in
 https://ghacksuserjs.github.io/TorZillaPrint/TorZillaPrint.html#math -
 which dosn't **seem** to differ in 60+ anyway (needs for testing I guess)

 Also note, that sin() can also have differences, I'm just not sure on
 which values over which platforms produce the desired results (and I could
 probably find more functions) - I'm sure the solution for this would fix
 any functions, so I'm not going to dig any further (except to show combos
 for mac and other android versions using cos)

 Edit: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math#Browser_compatibility
 - `cos`, `sin` etc were FF version 1 compatible
