This checks `privacy.spoof_english` whenever `setLocales` is called from Fenix side and sets `intl.accept_languages` accordingly.

This loads HTTPS Everywhere as a builtin addon from a hardcoded resource:// URI in desktop. It also ensures that the non-builtin HTTPS Everywhere addon is always uninstalled on browser startup. The reason of making this desktop-only is that there are some issues when installing a builtin extension from geckoview side, making the extension not available on first startup. So, at least for now we handle the Fenix case separately. See #40118 for a followup for investigating these.

Firefox Ion (previously 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.

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.

Hide elements on about:logins that mention sync, "Firefox LockWise", and Mozilla's LockWise mobile apps. Disable the "Create New Login" button when security.nocertdb is true.
-
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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
