      Bug 26961: New user onboarding. · b8189919
      Kathleen Brade authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      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
      
      Bug 40429: Update Onboarding for 10.5

      Bug 17252: Enable session identifiers with FPI
      
      Session tickets and session identifiers were isolated
      by OriginAttributes, so we can re-enable them by
      allowing the default value (true) of
      "security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers".
      
      The pref "security.enable_tls_session_tickets" is obsolete
      (removed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/917049)
      
      Bug 14952: Enable http/2 and AltSvc
      
      In Firefox, SPDY/HTTP2 now uses Origin Attributes for
      isolation of connections, push streams, origin frames, etc.
      That means we get first-party isolation provided
      "privacy.firstparty.isolate" is true. So in this patch, we
      stop overriding "network.http.spdy.enabled" and
      "network.http.spdy.enabled.http2".
      
      Alternate Services also use Origin Attributes for isolation.
      So we stop overriding
      "network.http.altsvc.enabled" and "network.http.altsvc.oe"
      as well.
      
      (All 4 of the abovementioned "network.http.*" prefs adopt
      Firefox 60ESR's default value of true.)
      
      However, we want to disable HTTP/2 push for now, so we
      set "network.http.spdy.allow-push" to false.
      
      "network.http.spdy.enabled.http2draft" was removed in Bug 1132357.
      "network.http.sped.enabled.v2" was removed in Bug 912550.
      "network.http.sped.enabled.v3" was removed in Bug 1097944.
      "network.http.sped.enabled.v3-1" was removed in Bug 1248197.
      
      Bug 26114: addons.mozilla.org is not special
      * Don't expose navigator.mozAddonManager on any site
      * Don't block NoScript from modifying addons.mozilla.org or other sites

      Bug 29916: Make sure enterprise policies are disabled
      
      Bug 2874: Block Components.interfaces from content
      
      Bug 26146: Spoof HTTP User-Agent header for desktop platforms
      
      In Tor Browser 8.0, the OS was revealed in both the HTTP User-Agent
      header and to JavaScript code via navigator.userAgent. To avoid
      leaking the OS inside each HTTP request (which many web servers
      log), always use the Windows 7 OS value in the desktop User-Agent
      header. We continue to allow access to the actual OS via JavaScript,
      since doing so improves compatibility with web applications such
      as GitHub and Google Docs.
      
      Bug 12885: Windows Jump Lists fail for Tor Browser
      
      Jumplist entries are stored in a binary file in:
        %APPDATA%\\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\
      and has a name in the form
        [a-f0-9]+.customDestinations-ms
      
      The hex at the front is unique per app, and is ultimately derived from
      something called the 'App User Model ID' (AUMID) via some unknown
      hashing method. The AUMID is provided as a key when programmatically
      creating, updating, and deleting a jumplist. The default behaviour in
      firefox is for the installer to define an AUMID for an app, and save it
      in the registry so that the jumplist data can be removed by the
      uninstaller.
      
      However, the Tor Browser does not set this (or any other) regkey during
      installation, so this codepath fails and the app's AUMID is left
      undefined. As a result the app's AUMID ends up being defined by
      windows, but unknowable by Tor Browser. This unknown AUMID is used to
      create and modify the jumplist, but the delete API requires that we
      provide the app's AUMID explicitly. Since we don't know what the AUMID
      is (since the expected regkey where it is normally stored does not
      exist) jumplist deletion will fail and we will leave behind a mostly
      empty customDestinations-ms file. The name of the file is derived from
      the binary path, so an enterprising person could reverse engineer how
      that hex name is calculated, and generate the name for Tor Browser's
      default Desktop installation path to determine whether a person had
      used Tor Browser in the past.
      
      The 'taskbar.grouping.useprofile' option that is enabled by this patch
      works around this AUMID problem by having firefox.exe create it's own
      AUMID based on the profile path (rather than looking for a regkey). This
      way, if a user goes in and enables and disables jumplist entries, the
      backing store is properly deleted.
      
      Unfortunately, all windows users currently have this file lurking in
      the above mentioned directory and this patch will not remove it since it
      was created with an unknown AUMID. However, another patch could be
      written which goes to that directory and deletes any item containing the
      'Tor Browser' string.  See bug 28996.

      Bug 22548: Firefox downgrades VP9 videos to VP8.
      
      On systems where H.264 is not available or no HWA, VP9 is preferred. But in Tor
      Browser 7.0 all youtube videos are degraded to VP8.
      
      This behaviour can be turned off by setting media.benchmark.vp9.threshold to 0.
      All clients will get better experience and lower traffic, beause TBB doesn't
      use "Use hardware acceleration when available".

      reasons to keep them.
