browser.contentblocking.* - We don't need to do anything with these IMO
@fmarier "browser.contentblocking.reportBreakage.enabled" - reporting breakage: is that user initiated (i.e not automatic)? TIA
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 16 Oct 2018
we should enforce browser.contentblocking.enabled=true because cookie blocking doesn't work if it's set to false. I tend to agree that we can ignore the rest of browser.contentblocking.*, at least for now.

"browser.contentblocking.reportBreakage.enabled" - reporting breakage: is that user initiated (i.e not automatic)?
It controls whether or not the "report broken site" button shows up. It doesn't send anything unless the user clicks on it and submits a breakage report.

They're working on making media autoplay default-prompt but IDK if it will land in FF63 or not.
If it doesn't land I'd say we just keep blocking autoplay for now. Once it lands we can comment it out and use FF's default-prompt.
As for the rest do you see anything we should add? I don't

* Just DELETE the XPI file in your System Add-ons directory
* [1] https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2017/06/05/measuring-search-in-firefox/ ***/
follow-on-search is now builtin in FF63 as well ie no longer a system addon. Remove 0513 ? Deleting unwanted SAs is already mentioned in the header anyway.
earthlng
on 23 Oct 2018
Leave it in for ESR60?, just change it to (FF53-62)?
follow-on-search is now builtin in FF63 as well ie no longer a system addon
Please tell me there is a way to disable this shit. I don't want any counting of engine use or anything locally - and yeah, can you tell me for sure that the channel used to send this is totally fucking off. PS: all my engines are self added, not the defaults, does this help?
Also, just quietly, devtools.aboutdebugging.showSystemAddons (under ignore new) is default false. Wouldn't this be better as true? We could still stick it under system addons, eg 0507 or something - yeah/no?
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 23 Oct 2018
I think it's behind the telemetry flags now and only works on builtin SE's anyway.
I doubt that too many of our users would ever debug system addons, IDK.
earthlng
on 23 Oct 2018
man I'm having a hard time following your PR. I'll add the deprecated items to the deprecated sticky first. Then I'll download and do a diff locally (using the github compare sucks a tad). Then assuming all is well I will squash and merge, and then we can discuss the issues you raised in it, cuz I am confused :)

I'm in there sometimes, and it's a nice way to spot if you forgot to delete the xpis. But IDK, overkill
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 23 Oct 2018
yeah IDK. We can list it at the top "for visibility" so those few who're interested might see it.
System addons become less and less of an issue because FF64 also removed onboarding and Pocket will be builtin. Only 4 left in FF64 atm: 2 webcompat, autofill and screenshots. No idea why the new Firefox Monitor doesn't show up for me, maybe they're not bundling it on purpose for some reason, IDK

because FF64 also removed onboarding and Pocket
Well at least those two have a pref (for now, touch wood). I'm starting to feel like system addon's are test beds (with system addon updates). Maybe it's mandate changed. I thought it's original purpose was for something else. OK, I'll just shove that pref to the list for visibility - DONE

I guess it will turn up in major releases (probably point releases). And I'm on portable which is a complete package each time, and it hasn't shown yet from memory (not sure if in 62.0.3).
I actually thought that it was pushed via system addon updates (outside of full installs) - do you have user_pref("extensions.systemAddon.update.url blanked?
Do we need to do anything with F Monitor? Is there a pref, or does it do nothing unless you sign up for it?

follow-on-search is now builtin in FF63 as well ie no longer a system addon
Leave it in for ESR60?, just change it to (FF53-62)?
I'd just remove it. Removing unwanted SAs is mentioned in the section header and the link ... meh.
AFAIK follow-on-search just adds utm=ff or something like that to 2ndary etc searches on builtin SEs like google etc. It funds mozilla and is actually a nice way to support them IMO. And it doesn't cost you anything like fe. donations would. The engines already know that someone is using FF anyway.

yes

IDK I haven't looked at it yet. I don't think you need to sign up for it though

- https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/09/25/introducing-firefox-monitor-helping-people-take-control-after-a-data-breach/ - part 2: says to sign up
- extensions.systemAddon.update.url blanked = yes: well, there's why then
- FF search: I'd just remove it - do you mean to the deprecated section or entirely?

what about - TWO: DELETE the XPI file in your System Add-ons directory (note this get reinstalled on app updates) in 0514? That can go as well IMO
earthlng

^^ well we need to deal to AS overall don't we, since it's no longer a SA?
I'm just about to push the deprecated. Need coffee, and then we can look at what else. Start moving more crap to ignore if you like, but no hurry man - we finish this in our own time.

part 2: says to sign up
well yes if you want to be notified for future breaches but you can also just re-check from time to time without signing up
extensions.systemAddon.update.url blanked = yes: well, there's why then
all I was saying is that it doesn't appear to be bundled atm. I've updated my testing nightly and it wasn't even bundled there, that's all I know.

entirely remove it. Without a pref to it there's no need to move it to 9999 IMO

^ OK. AFAIK F Monitor wouldn't "do" anything unless it had your details. IDK, maybe it tries to grab it from forms?
If you go to https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js - do you see environments in the top nav, after commits, branches, releases ? WTF is an environment. It's only just shown up (IDK, in the last week maybe?)

In the meantime, check out and download the latest version of Firefox Quantum for the desktop in order to use the Firefox Monitor feature when it becomes available.
probably just hasn't been rolled out to everyone yet and therefore not bundled either

be4 I forget: do we need to do anything with the 2 checkbox options for 3rd party cookies? I haven't got a 63 set up here to check what prefs the options control:
Thorin-Oakenpants

No. they're controlled by network.cookie.cookieBehavior

if you're thinking of browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouterExperimentEnabled, that was removed in 63 and is even listed under "removed, renamed or hidden"
earthlng
on 29 Oct 2018
no, I was thinking of other prefs that still allow "things to happen" (even if only locally = persistent data) as per one other previous thread which I can't find, but its old now, and I think we should revisit AS in totality at some stage in the near future, and the whole AS morphs too fast to keep track, and at the time we just said "delete the xpi"
Speaking of which, we should drop that line, because as you said, its in the header section. But wait .. there's MOAR. We do not need to keep anything for ESR users. ESR users are on v60, and we have an archived 60 for them. Case in point - you removed the FollowOn Search entry. I don't like the AS section at all now - it's as messy AF. We either do it now (move to proper section), or create a new ticket to do it after beta - please advise
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 29 Oct 2018
IMO it can wait until ESR67 but if you want to change it now go for it

Should we rename Tracking Protection in the user,js to Content Blocking (or at least append it)?
/* 0426: enforce Content Blocking (required to block cookies) (FF63+) ***/
user_pref("browser.contentblocking.enabled", true); // default: true
- Where do we put this? I think it should be under hardware because most of it falls back to that - e.g. battery(it was in the spec)?, resolutions, gpu info(?) etc
- Do we really need the second pref? (I assume the first is a master switch, and even then, the second is false and we could add it if they ever flip it)
- It's all a bit vague on the FP'ing side of things and IANAExpert. I guess since it's only just been enabled, it's early days and we could block it with lilttle to no breakage. Here are some RFPs required for Media Capabilities. But overall, from most of my reading, it seems most of this is already available (but is it protected? eg screen res).
/* 2517: disable Media Capabilities API (FF63+)
[1] https://github.com/WICG/media-capabilities
[2] https://wicg.github.io/media-capabilities/#security-privacy-considerations ***/
user_pref("media.media-capabilities.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.media-capabilities.screen.enabled", false); // default: false
Should we rename Tracking Protection in the user,js to Content Blocking (or at least append it)?
rename: IMO no because TP is 1 part of Content Blocking. append: sure, why not
Where do we put this?
yeah under HW makes sense. But I'm not sure if we should add this at all. We keep disabling stuff because it could theoretically be used for FPing while there's no indication that it's really used that way. But disabling it definitely puts us in a very small group. I'm not sure if there's really anything too unique that could be gathered from MC because most devices will have similar capabilities.
The sad thing is that it looks like they have a patch ready to address these issues in MC since 5 months but it's just sitting there waiting to be looked at and commited :(
Do we really need the second pref?
no we can ignore the 2nd pref
we could add it if they ever flip it
that's assuming we keep doing the diffs. This issue is 2 months old and FF63 is out for almost 3 weeks now and we're still working on it. Do we really want to continue doing the ToDo: Diffs issues if we can't finish them in time for a new FF release? Nobody but us 2 contributes and nobody seems to really care anyway.
ps: other things off the top of my head that make us pretty unique for no good reason IMHO ...
- security.tls.version.min = 3
- full-screen-api.enabled = false

Well, TBH, we (pants and earthlng) do what we do when we do it. The time frame is not set in concrete. The last commit to do with these diffs was 15 days ago (AS stuff), and all that's been left are the two prefs, one of which is at default, and the other we're not even sure on. The master copy is always the up to date version (but I get it, some people might wait for a release).
Yup, it would be nice to always pump these out within a few days, but shit happens (as per my email). I/we could have wrapped this up weeks ago, except I was actually kind of thinking "blah, lets see what happens when I (we) do nothing". Seems at times we're not appreciated.
That said, if the information is there (i.e the diffs are generated), then it will be actioned - build it and they shall come. This release has just been a bit of a bad time personally. But yeah, I too feel like WTF, why bother anymore.
Anyway, lets wrap this puppy up. I have some questions (see next post).

Content Blocking (required to block cookies) (FF63+) - is this required for ANY control of cookies (and said related localStorage), i.e network.cookie.cookieBehavior could be any value - i.e all cookies now go thru CB?
@fmarier for good measure edit: i.e browser.contentblocking.enabled=true
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 13 Nov 2018
re MC API, I am inclined to disable it for now. Now that it's hit 63, maybe they can get on with those RFP patches (which I am sure will be before the next ESR cycle). It's new (so just imagine you're on ESR and it doesn't exist) so I doubt it will affect end users for quiet a while - we can always revisit it. And we already disable HWA, and DRM/GMP stuff, and I imagine this already affects it? I'd rather be consistent just for now.
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 13 Nov 2018
actually, I reopen it - if you're happy then close it, and I'll take that as a signal to create a release
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 13 Nov 2018
is this (
browser.contentblocking.enabled) required for ANY control of cookies
yes. It's the master switch for content blocking which atm is TP and cookie-blocking.
Because we have the cookie part in another section I wouldn't add Content-Blocking to the header or subheader in 0400. This pref was also removed again in FF65 and we can delete it from the user.js for FF65 because nobody needs it anymore then and it's not in ESR either. (or Waterfox, etc)
That said, if the information is there (i.e the diffs are generated), then it will be actioned
creating the diffs is easy, actioning them is the tedious part but okay I'll create a issue for the current 64 beta diff and we'll see how it goes.

So why bother to add the pref in the first place. I'll remove it then.
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 13 Nov 2018
If you really want it in, then lets add in under 2707 for two releases?
Thorin-Oakenpants
on 13 Nov 2018
I think more people disable TP than cookie-blocking and that's why it fits better under 0400 IMO.
Let's add it for 2 releases to make sure cookie blocking (and TP) works as expected.
earthlng
on 13 Nov 2018
done, can we do a release now?
