      Firefox preference overrides.
      
      This hack directly includes our preference changes in omni.ja.

      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      The pref "security.enable_tls_session_tickets" is obsolete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".

      Bug 40458: Implement .tor.onion aliases · 02350b7e
      Pier Angelo Vendrame authored
      We have enabled HTTPS-Only mode, therefore we do not need
      HTTPS-Everywhere anymore.
      However, we want to keep supporting .tor.onion aliases (especially for
      securedrop).
      Therefore, in this patch we implemented the parsing of HTTPS-Everywhere
      rulesets, and the redirect of .tor.onion domains.
      Actually, Tor Browser believes they are actual domains. We change them
      on the fly on the SOCKS proxy requests to resolve the domain, and on
      the code that verifies HTTPS certificates.

      Bug 30237: Add v3 onion services client authentication prompt · 27705d22
      Kathleen Brade authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      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

      Bug 23247: Communicating security expectations for .onion · 4c19a217
      Richard Pospesel authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      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.

      eBay and Amazon don't treat Tor users very well. Accounts often get locked and

      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.

      Bug 13379: Sign our MAR files. · 778aa6cf
      Kathleen Brade authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      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.

      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.

      Bug 10760: Integrate TorButton to TorBrowser core · 7efc9ee3
      Alex Catarineu authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      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 40597: Implement TorSettings module · e0e5d5cd
      Richard Pospesel authored and Pier Angelo Vendrame's avatar Pier Angelo Vendrame committed
      - migrated in-page settings read/write implementation from about:preferences#tor
        to the TorSettings module
      - TorSettings initially loads settings from the tor daemon, and saves them to
        firefox prefs
      - TorSettings notifies observers when a setting has changed; currently only
        QuickStart notification is implemented for parity with previous preference
        notify logic in about:torconnect and about:preferences#tor
      - about:preferences#tor, and about:torconnect now read and write settings
        thorugh the TorSettings module
      - all tor settings live in the torbrowser.settings.* preference branch
      - removed unused pref modify permission for about:torconnect content page from
        AsyncPrefs.jsm
