Backporting

Timeline

  • Immediate: patchset needed as soon as possible
  • Next Minor Stable Release: patchset that needs to be verified in nightly before backport
  • Eventually: patchset that needs to be verified in alpha before backport
  • No Backport (preferred): patchset for the next major stable

(Optional) Justification

  • Emergency security update: patchset fixes CVEs, 0-days, etc
  • Censorship event: patchset enables censorship circumvention
  • Critical bug-fix: patchset fixes a bug in core-functionality
  • Consistency: patchset which would make development easier if it were in both the alpha and release branches; developer tools, build system changes, etc
  • Sponsor required: patchset required for sponsor
  • Localization: typos and other localization changes that should be also in the release branch
  • Other: please explain

Merging

  • Merge to tor-browser - !fixups to tor-browser-specific commits, new features, security backports
  • Merge to base-browser - !fixups to base-browser-specific commits, new features to be shared with mullvad-browser, and security backports
    • NOTE: if your changeset includes patches to both base-browser and tor-browser please clearly label in the change description which commits should be cherry-picked to base-browser after merging

Change Description

We add DownloadsTorWarning.sys.mjs to manage the initialisation of the moz-message-bar in one place. A lot of it was copied and moved from browser/components/downloads/content/allDownloadsView.js.

Since this involves new strings, can we get @donuts approval before we land this? I don't want the translators to do more work than necessary.

NOTE: There is an outstanding screen reader issue with moz-message-bar, but that will be addressed as part of #43072 (closed).

In the "Library" window (Ctrl+Shift+O):

How Tested

In each location tested:

  • The tails link works.
  • The "Got it" button dismisses the warning.
  • Focus is properly re-assigned when the warning is hidden.
  • The warning shows again when browser.download.showTorWarning is reset.
