moreFromMozilla pane in about:preferences in 12.0a2

Summary

There is a pane "More from Tor Project" (about:preferences#moreFromMozilla) with potentially confusing links.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Hamburger menu
  2. Settings
  3. More from Tor Project in the sidebar

What is the current bug behavior?

It displays a pane "More from Tor Browser" with sections:

  • Tor Browser Mobile
  • Mozilla VPN
  • Mozilla Rally

These look like Mozilla-specific products that can be confusing or misleading in the Tor Browser context. The "Tor Browser Mobile" link goes to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/mobile/get-app/. The "Mozilla VPN" section could exacerbate confusion about whether to use a VPN with Tor. I don't know what Mozilla Rally might be.

What is the expected behavior?

I suppose this option should be removed from the sidebar. I was able to make this happen locally by setting the pref browser.preferences.moreFromMozilla=false.
