Firefox Pioneer is an opt-in program in which people volunteer to
participate in studies that collect detailed, sensitive data about
how they use their browser.

Avoid creating instance for 'anti-tracking-url-decoration'.

If prefs are disabling their usage, avoid creating instances for
'cert-revocations' and 'intermediates'.

Do not ship JSON dumps for collections we do not expect to need. For
the ones in the 'main' bucket, this prevents them from being synced
unnecessarily (the code in remote-settings does so for collections
in the main bucket for which a dump or local data exists). For the
collections in the other buckets, we just save some size by not
shipping their dumps.

We also clear the collections database on the v2 -> v3 migration.

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563246 Firefox implemented
fetching the Public Suffix List via RemoteSettings and replacing the default
one at runtime, which we do not want.

Restrict the Enterprise Policies mechanism to only consult a
policies.json file (avoiding the Windows Registry and macOS's
file system attributes).

Add a few disabledByPolicy() checks to the update service to
avoid extraneous (and potentially confusing) log messages when
updates are disabled by policy.

Sample content for distribution/policies.json:
{
  "policies": {
    "DisableAppUpdate": true
  }
}

On Linux, avoid reading policies from /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json

Whenever a valid Onion-Location HTTP header (or corresponding HTML
<meta> http-equiv attribute) is found in a document load, we either
redirect to it (if the user opted-in via preference) or notify the
presence of an onionsite alternative with a badge in the urlbar.

A custom HTTPS Everywhere update channel is installed,
which provides rules for locally redirecting some memorable
.tor.onion URLs to non-memorable .onion URLs.

When these redirects occur, we also rewrite the URL in the urlbar
to display the human-memorable hostname instead of the actual
.onion.

Bug 34196: Update site info URL with the onion name

We removed the addon in #32767, but it was still being loaded
from addonStartup.json.lz4 and throwing an error on startup
because its resource: location is not available anymore.

The browser should not need information related to the network
interface or network state, tor should take care of that.

The GeckoView AndroidManifest.xml is not preprocessed unlike Fennec's
manifest, so we can't use the ifdef preprocessor guards around the
permissions we do not want. Commenting the permissions is the
next-best-thing.

It's time for our rotation again: Move the backup key in the front
position and add a new backup key.

Kathleen Brade authored 5 years ago and Alex Catarineu committed 4 years ago

When Tor informs the browser that client authentication is needed,
temporarily load about:blank instead of about:neterror and prompt
for the user's key.

If a correctly formatted key is entered, use Tor's ONION_CLIENT_AUTH_ADD
control port command to add the key (via Torbutton's control port
module) and reload the page.

If the user cancels the prompt, display the standard about:neterror
"Unable to connect" page. This requires a small change to
browser/actors/NetErrorChild.jsm to account for the fact that the
docShell no longer has the failedChannel information. The failedChannel
is used to extract TLS-related error info, which is not applicable
in the case of a canceled .onion authentication prompt.

Add a leaveOpen option to PopupNotifications.show so we can display
error messages within the popup notification doorhanger without
closing the prompt.

Add support for onion services strings to the TorStrings module.

Add support for Tor extended SOCKS errors (Tor proposal 304) to the
socket transport and SOCKS layers. Improved display of all of these
errors will be implemented as part of bug 30025.

Also fixes bug 19757:
 Add a "Remember this key" checkbox to the client auth prompt.

 Add an "Onion Services Authentication" section within the
 about:preferences "Privacy & Security section" to allow
 viewing and removal of v3 onion client auth keys that have
 been stored on disk.

Also fixes bug 19251: use enhanced error pages for onion service errors.

CSS and JS changes to alter the UX surrounding letterboxing. The
browser element containing page content is now anchored to the bottom
of the toolbar, and the remaining letterbox margin is the same color
as the firefox chrome. The letterbox margin and border are tied to
the currently selected theme.

Also adds a 'needsLetterbox' property to tabbrowser.xml to fix a race
condition present when using the 'isEmpty' property. Using 'isEmpty'
as a proxy for 'needsLetterbox' resulted in over-zealous/unnecessary
letterboxing of about:blank tabs.

More concretely, SearchService.jsm 'hijack-blocklists' and
url-classifier-skip-urls.

This patch adds a new about:preferences#tor page which allows modifying
bridge, proxy, and firewall settings from within Tor Browser. All of the
functionality present in tor-launcher's Network Configuration panel is
present:

 - Setting built-in bridges
 - Requesting bridges from BridgeDB via moat
 - Using user-provided bridges
 - Configuring SOCKS4, SOCKS5, and HTTP/HTTPS proxies
 - Setting firewall ports
 - Viewing and Copying Tor's logs
 - The Networking Settings in General preferences has been removed

Avoid re-creating the hidden window, since this causes the nsMenuBarX
object that is associated with the app menu to be freed (which in
turn causes all of the app menu items to stop working).

More detail: There should only be one hidden window.
XREMain::XRE_mainRun() contains an explicit call to create the
hidden window and that is the normal path by which it is created.
However, when Tor Launcher's wizard/progress window is opened during
startup, a hidden window is created earlier as a side effect of
calls to nsAppShellService::GetHiddenWindow(). Then, when
XREMain::XRE_mainRun() creates its hidden window, the original one
is freed which also causes the app menu's nsMenuBarX object which
is associated with that window to be destroyed. When that happens,
the menuGroupOwner property within each Cocoa menu items's MenuItemInfo
object is cleared. This breaks the link that is necessary for
NativeMenuItemTarget's menuItemHit method to dispatch a menu item
event.

Reuse the Firefox onboarding mechanism with minimal changes.
Localizable strings are pulled in from Torbutton (if Torbutton is
  not installed, we lack about:tor and no tour will be shown).
Replace SVG images with PNGs (see bug 27002),
For defense in depth, omit include OnboardingTelemetry.jsm entirely.
Added support for the following UITour page event:
  torBrowserOpenSecuritySettings

Also fix bug 27403: the onboarding bubble is not always displayed.

Arthur suggested to make the onboarding bubble visible on displays with
less than 960px width available, so we choose 200px instead.

Also fix bug 28628: Change onboarding Security panel to open new
Security Level panel.

Also fix bug 27484: Improve navigation within onboarding.

Bug 27082: enable a limited UITour

Disallow access to UITour functionality from all pages other than
  about:home, about:newtab, and about:tor.
Implement a whitelist mechanism for page actions.

Bug 26962 - implement new features onboarding (part 1).

Add an "Explore" button to the "Circuit Display" panel within new user
onboarding which opens the DuckDuckGo .onion and then guides users through
a short circuit display tutorial.

Allow a few additional UITour actions while limiting as much as possible
how it can be used.

Tweak the UITour styles to match the Tor Browser branding.

All user interface strings are retrieved from Torbutton's
browserOnboarding.properties file.

Bug 27486 Avoid about:blank tabs when opening onboarding pages.

Instead of using a simple <a href>, programmatically open onboarding
web pages by using tabBrowser.addTab(). The same technique is now
used for "See My Path", "See FAQs", and "Visit an Onion".

Bug 29768: Introduce new features to users

Add an "update" tour for the Tor Browser 8.5 release that contains two
panels: Toolbar and Security (with appropriate description text and
images).

Display an attention-grabbing dot on the onboarding text bubble when
the update tour is active. The animation lasts for 14 seconds.

Bug 31768: Introduce toolbar and network settings changes in onboarding

Update the "Tor Network" onboarding page to include a note that
settings can now be accessed via the application preferences and
add an "Adjust Your Tor Network Settings" action button which opens
about:preferences#tor.

Replace the Tor Browser 8.5 "update" onboarding tour with a 9.0 one
that includes the revised "Tor Network" page and a revised "Toolbar"
page. The latter explains that Torbutton's toolbar item has been
removed ("Goodbye Onion Button") and explains how to access the
New Identity feature using the hamburger menu and new toolbar item.

Bug 34321 - Add Learn More onboarding item

Revert "Bug 1462415 - Delete onboarding system add-on r=Standard8,k88hudson"

Bug 28822: Convert onboarding to webextension

Partially revert 1564367 (controlCenter in UITour.jsm)

Also added 'New circuit for this site' button to CustomizableUI, but
not visible by default.

Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.jsm in order
to avoid several network requests that we do not need. Besides,
about:newtab will now point to about:blank or about:tor (depending
on browser.newtabpage.enabled) and about:home will point to
about:tor.
