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.

Encrypting pages hosted on Onion Services with SSL/TLS is redundant (in terms of hiding content) as all traffic within the Tor network is already fully encrypted. Therefore, serving HTTP pages from an Onion Service is more or less fine. Prior to this patch, Tor Browser would mostly treat pages delivered via Onion Services as well as pages delivered in the ordinary fashion over the internet in the same way. This created some inconsistencies in behaviour and misinformation presented to the user relating to the security of pages delivered via Onion Services: - HTTP Onion Service pages did not have any 'lock' icon indicating the site was secure - HTTP Onion Service pages would be marked as unencrypted in the Page Info screen - Mixed-mode content restrictions did not apply to HTTP Onion Service pages embedding Non-Onion HTTP content This patch fixes the above issues, and also adds several new 'Onion' icons to the mix to indicate all of the various permutations of Onion Services hosted HTTP or HTTPS pages with HTTP or HTTPS content. Strings for Onion Service Page Info page are pulled from Torbutton's localization strings.

Connections were observed in the catch-all circuit when the user entered an https or http URL in the URL bar, or typed a search term.

This patch adds a new 'securitylevel' component to Tor Browser intended to replace the torbutton 'Security Slider'. This component adds a new Security Level toolbar button which visually indicates the current global security level via icon (as defined by the extensions.torbutton.security_slider pref), a drop-down hanger with a short description of the current security level, and a new section in the about:preferences#privacy page where users can change their current security level. In addition, the hanger and the preferences page will show a visual warning when the user has modified prefs associated with the security level and provide a one-click 'Restore Defaults' button to get the user back on recommended settings. Strings used by this patch are pulled from the torbutton extension, but en-US defaults are provided if there is an error loading from the extension. With this patch applied, the usual work-flow of "./mach build && ./mach run" work as expected, even if the torbutton extension is disabled.

Many fonts have issues with their vertical metrics. they are used to influence the height of ascenders and depth of descenders. Gecko uses it to calculate the line height (font height + ascender + descender), however because of that idiosyncratic behavior across multiple operating systems, it can be used to identify the user's OS. The solution proposed in the patch uses a default factor to be multiplied with the font size, simulating the concept of ascender and descender. This way all operating systems will have the same line height only and only if the frame is outside the chrome.

Only ship the pdfjs extension.
-
In the past the ClearKey system had not been compiled when specifying --disable-eme. But that changed and it is even bundled nowadays (see: Mozilla's bug 1300654). We don't want to ship it right now as the use case for it is not really visible while the code had security vulnerabilities in the past.
-
In Mozilla bug 1324780, support for building with glib 2.28 (the version available in CentOS 6) was added. However we are building on Debian Wheezy which has glib 2.32. We fix that by backing out all glib > 2.28 code paths.

eBay and Amazon don't treat Tor users very well. Accounts often get locked and payments reversed. Also: Bug 16322: Update DuckDuckGo search engine We are replacing the clearnet URL with an onion service one (thanks to a patch by a cypherpunk) and are removing the duplicated DDG search engine. Duplicating DDG happend due to bug 1061736 where Mozilla included DDG itself into Firefox. Interestingly, this caused breaking the DDG search if JavaScript is disabled as the Mozilla engine, which gets loaded earlier, does not use the html version of the search page. Moreover, the Mozilla engine tracked where the users were searching from by adding a respective parameter to the search query. We got rid of that feature as well. Also: This fixes bug 20809: the DuckDuckGo team has changed its server-side code in a way that lets users with JavaScript enabled use the default landing page while those without JavaScript available get redirected directly to the non-JS page. We adapt the search engine URLs accordingly. Also fixes bug 29798 by making sure we only specify the Google search engine we actually ship an .xml file for. Also regression tests.
-
Add an about:tbupdate page that displays the first section from TorBrowser/Docs/ChangeLog.txt and includes a link to the remote post-update page (typically our blog entry for the release). Always load about:tbupdate in a content process, but implement the code that reads the file system (changelog) in the chrome process for compatibility with future sandboxing efforts. Also fix bug 29440. Now about:tbupdate is styled as a fairly simple changelog page that is designed to be displayed via a link that is on about:tor.

Configure with --enable-verify-mar (when updating, require a valid signature on the MAR file before it is applied). Use the Tor Browser version instead of the Firefox version inside the MAR file info block (necessary to prevent downgrade attacks). Use NSS on all platforms for checking MAR signatures (instead of using OS-native APIs, which Mozilla does on Mac OS and Windows). So that the NSS and NSPR libraries the updater depends on can be found at runtime, we add the firefox directory to the shared library search path on macOS. On Linux, rpath is used by Mozilla to solve that problem, but that approach won't work on macOS because the updater executable is copied during the update process to a location that is under TorBrowser-Data, and the location of TorBrowser-Data varies. Also includes the fix for bug 18900.
-
The following files are never updated: TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profiles.ini TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/bookmarks.html TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc Mac OS: Store update metadata under TorBrowser/UpdateInfo. Removed the %OS_VERSION% component from the update URL (13047) and added support for minSupportedOSVersion, an attribute of the <update> element that may be used to trigger Firefox's "unsupported platform" behavior. Hide the "What's new" links (set app.releaseNotesURL value to about:blank). Windows: disable "runas" code path in updater (15201). Windows: avoid writing to the registry (16236). Also includes fixes for tickets 13047, 13301, 13356, 13594, 15406, 16014, 16909, 24476, and 25909. Also fix Bug 26049: reduce the delay before the update prompt is displayed. Instead of Firefox's 2 days, we use 1 hour (after which time the update doorhanger will be displayed). Also fix bug 27221: purge the startup cache if the Tor Browser version changed (even if the Firefox version and build ID did not change), e.g., after a minor Tor Browser update. Also fix 32616: Disable GetSecureOutputDirectoryPath() functionality. Bug 26048: potentially confusing "restart to update" message Within the update doorhanger, remove the misleading message that mentions that windows will be restored after an update is applied, and replace the "Restart and Restore" button label with an existing "Restart to update Tor Browser" string. Bug 28885: notify users that update is downloading Add a "Downloading Tor Browser update" item which appears in the hamburger (app) menu while the update service is downloading a MAR file. Before this change, the browser did not indicate to the user that an update was in progress, which is especially confusing in Tor Browser because downloads often take some time. If the user clicks on the new menu item, the about dialog is opened to allow the user to see download progress. As part of this fix, the update service was changed to always show update-related messages in the hamburger menu, even if the update was started in the foreground via the about dialog or via the "Check for Tor Browser Update" toolbar menu item. This change is consistent with the Tor Browser goal of making sure users are informed about the update process. Removed #28885 parts of this patch which have been uplifted to Firefox. Use a localized string from Torbutton for the app menu's "Downloading update" message. This is a temporary fix that can be removed once Tor Browser is based on Firefox 79 or newer (at which point the localized string will be included in the Firefox language packs).

Revert most changes from Mozilla Bug 1373267 "Remove hashFunction and hashValue attributes from nsIUpdatePatch and code related to these attributes." Changes to the tests were not reverted; the tests have been changed significantly and we do not run automated updater tests for Tor Browser at this time. Also partial revert of commit f1241db6. Revert the nsUpdateService.js changes from Mozilla Bug 862173 "don't verify mar file hash when using mar signing to verify the mar file (lessens main thread I/O)." Changes to the tests were not reverted; the tests have been changed significantly and we do not run automated updater tests for Tor Browser at this time. We kept the addition to the AppConstants API in case other JS code references it in the future.

When macOS opens a document or selects a default browser, it sometimes uses the CFBundleSignature. Changing from the Firefox MOZB signature to a different signature TORB allows macOS to distinguish between Firefox and Tor Browser.
-
Unless the -osint command line flag is used, the browser now defaults to the equivalent of -no-remote. There is a new -allow-remote flag that may be used to restore the original (Firefox-like) default behavior.
-
When handling an external URI or downloading a file, invoke Torbutton's external app blocker component (which will present a download warning dialog unless the user has checked the "Automatically download files from now on" box). For e10s compatibility, avoid using a modal dialog and instead use a callback interface (nsIHelperAppWarningLauncher) to allow Torbutton to indicate the user's desire to cancel or continue each request. Other bugs fixed: Bug 21766: Crash with e10s enabled while trying to download a file Bug 21886: Download is stalled in non-e10s mode Bug 22471: Downloading files via the PDF viewer download button is broken Bug 22472: Fix FTP downloads when external helper app dialog is shown Bug 22610: Avoid crashes when canceling external helper app downloads Bug 22618: Downloading pdf file via file:/// is stalling

There should be no need to remove the OS X support introduced in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225726 as enabling this is governed by a preference (which is actually set to `false`). However, we remove it at build time as well (defense in depth). This is basically a backout of the relevant passages of https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6bfb430de85d, https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/609b337bf7ab and https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e092ec5fbbd. Fixed bug 21861 (Disable additional mDNS code to avoid proxy bypasses) as well.

Instead of using the local computer's IP address within symlink-based profile lock signatures, always use 127.0.0.1.

Convert JS implementation (within Torbutton) to a C++ browser patch.

See also Bugs #5194, #7187, #8115, #8219. This patch does some basic renaming of Firefox to TorBrowser. The rest of the branding is done by images and icons. Also fix bug 27905. Bug 25702: Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines - Updated all of the branding in /browser/branding/official with new 'stable' icon series. - Updated /extensions/onboarding/content/img/tor-watermark.png with new icon and add the source svg in the same directory - Copied /browser/branding/official over /browser/branding/nightly and the new /browser/branding/alpha directories. Replaced content with 'nightly' and 'alpha' icon series. Updated VisualElements_70.png and VisualElements_150.png with updated icons in each branding directory (fixes #22654) - Updated firefox.VisualElementsManfiest.xml with updated colors in each branding directory - Updated content/identity-icons-brand.svg with Tor Browser icon (fixes #28111) - Added firefox.svg to each branding directory from which all the other icons are derived (apart from document.icns and document.ico) - Added default256.png and default512.png icons - Updated aboutTBUpdate.css to point to branding-aware icon128.png and removed original icon - Use the Tor Browser icon within devtools/client/themes/images/. Bug 30631: Blurry Tor Browser icon on macOS app switcher It would seem the png2icns tool does not generate correct icns files and so on macOS the larger icons were missing resulting in blurry icons in the OS chrome. Regenerated the padded icons in a macOS VM using iconutil. Bug 28196: preparations for using torbutton tor-browser-brand.ftl A small change to Fluent FileSource class is required so that we can register a new source without its supported locales being counted as available locales for the browser. Bug 31803: Replaced about:debugging logo with flat version
-
When --enable-tor-browser-data-outside-app-dir is enabled, all user data is stored in a directory named TorBrowser-Data which is located next to the application directory. Display an informative error message if the TorBrowser-Data directory cannot be created due to an "access denied" or a "read only volume" error. On Mac OS, add support for the --invisible command line option which is used by the meek-http-helper to avoid showing an icon for the helper browser on the dock.
-
Instead of always reporting that the profile is locked, display specific messages for "access denied" and "read-only file system". To allow for localization, get profile-related error strings from Torbutton. Use app display name ("Tor Browser") in profile-related error alerts.
-
This should eliminate our need to rely on a wrapper script that sets /Users/arthur and launches Firefox with -profile.
-
It looks like these cases should only be invoked in the NSS command line tools, and not the browser, but I decided to patch them anyway because there literally is a maze of network function pointers being passed around, and it's very hard to tell if some random code might not pass in the proper proxied versions of the networking code here by accident.
-
We avoid including the screencasting code on mobile (it got ripped out for desktop in bug 1393582) by simply excluding the related JS modules from Tor Browser.
-
This is technically an embargoed Mozilla bug, so I probably shouldn't provide too many details. Suffice to say that NTLM and Negotiate auth are bad for Tor users, and I doubt very many (or any of them) actually need it. The Mozilla bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046421
-
We cannot use the @mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1 service, because we actually want to stop plugins from ever entering the browser's process space and/or executing code (for example, AV plugins that collect statistics/analyse urls, magical toolbars that phone home or "help" the user, skype buttons that ruin our day, and censorship filters). Hence we rolled our own. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3547#comment:6 for musings on a better way. Until then, it is delta-darwinism for us.

Because of the non-restartless nature of Torbutton, it required a two-stage installation process. On mobile, it was a problem, because it was not loading when the user opened the browser for the first time. Moving it to tor-browser and making it a system extension allows it to load when the user opens the browser for first time. Additionally, this patch also fixes Bug 27611. Bug 26321: New Circuit and New Identity menu items Bug 14392: Make about:tor behave like other initial pages. Bug 25013: Add torbutton as a tor-browser submodule
-
Build and package Tor Launcher as part of the browser (similar to how pdfjs is handled). If a Tor Launcher extension is present in the user's profile, it is removed.

This hack directly includes our preference changes in omni.ja. Bug 18292: Staged updates fail on Windows Temporarily disable staged updates on Windows. Bug 18297: Use separate Noto JP,KR,SC,TC fonts Bug 23404: Add Noto Sans Buginese to the macOS whitelist Bug 23745: Set dom.indexedDB.enabled = true Bug 13575: Disable randomised Firefox HTTP cache decay user tests. (Fernando Fernandez Mancera <ffmancera@riseup.net>) 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 Enable ReaderView mode again (#27281). 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".
