  • channelclassifier.allowlist_example - safebrowsing related + is just a test pref anyway. 1511436 - safe to ignore
  • dom.media.autoplay.autoplay-policy-api - still default false and we can ignore it for now
  • media.autoplay.blackList-override-default - apparently makes sure site permissions take precedent over global autoplay allow/deny setting. Default true is fine and no need to add this to the user.js IMO.
  • network.process.enabled - still default false atm. ignore for now
  • pdfjs.* - not my problem
  • security.certerrors.permanentOverride - questionable but an argument can be made for and against it. probably fine to go with the default and ignore
  • extensions.webextensions.ExtensionStorageIDB.enabled - nothing to do with privacy/security. ignore
  • media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed - I guess this combined with media.autoplay.default=1 disables autoplay until a user interacts with a site

moved javascript.options.unboxed_objects from new to ignore and browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.onboarding + browser.security.newcerterrorpage.enabled from changed to ignore.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.discoverystreamfeed handles new pocket ui for the new tab page

bump... wanna do something with these?

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.discoverystreamfeed - what exactly does it do. If we already disable pocket being shown, then this new UI change is a nothing-burger. Right? So we can ignore it?
  • media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed - how do we word this. Can you find a bugzilla for me to read?
  • I'm so tired
  • I miss :cat2: .. do you think Batman finally got him?

I can not find information about this. Mozilla never give out information about their patches. Only superficial, where it is not written in detail. I (and U) constantly have to search Google for "What the hell does this preference mean?" And Google says this to me "Who the Fuck knows? I IDK. Dick knows".

Jesus help.

media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed - how do we word this. Can you find a bugzilla for me to read?

IDK look this:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14813334

according to S枚ren Hentzschel media.autoplay.enabled is deprecated and no longer available

bugzilla
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1420389 !

perhaps the earth will find better.

Yeah, sorry - that was all directed at the Big E, because I'm tired and can't be F'ed right now. I didn't search myself, and I know what the pref does, kind of (from another issue here at this repo), but wanted to read what the devs said it is meant to do: i.e I want to get the wording right when I draft something

according to S枚ren Hentzschel media.autoplay.enabled is deprecated and no longer available

yes, we already have that marked as removed in FF63+ in the user.js along with the relevant bugzilla where it was deprecated

:disappointed:

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.discoverystreamfeed - FF67 will have a bunch more of these discoverystreamfeed prefs. I'd say let's just kill this shit now and add this pref to 0105c

  • media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed - how do we word this

IDK. 2 things to note though: setting it to false can apparently completely break playing videos on certain sites, and setting it to false also blocks autoplay of muted videos (and audio?).
The former can probably be worked around by using a site permission and the latter is IMO a good thing anyway because it stops sites from abusing the soon-to-be default config by starting a video muted and then changing the volume a second later or so.

Thanks Pants for doing this one pretty much all by yourself! :kiss:
