Merging

Target Branches

  • tor-browser - !fixups to tor-browser-specific commits, new features, security backports
  • base-browser and mullvad-browser - !fixups to base-browser-specific commits, new features to be shared with mullvad-browser, and security backports
    • ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please list the base-browser-specific commits which need to be cherry-picked to the base-browser and mullvad-browser branches here

Target Channels

  • Alpha: esr128-14.5
  • Stable: esr128-14.0
  • Legacy: esr115-13.5

Backporting

Timeline

  • No Backport (preferred): patchset for the next major stable
  • Immediate: patchset needed as soon as possible (fixes CVEs, 0-days, etc)
  • 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

(Optional) Justification

  • Security update: patchset contains a security fix (be sure to select the correct item in Timeline)
  • 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

Change Description

Common branding rules common to tor browser releases were moved to the existing aboutDialogTor.css.

Duplicate rules that were already in browser/base/content/aboutDialog.css were dropped.

Rules that only made a minor difference were dropped:

  1. We now centre-align the logo, instead of right-aligning (which did not seem to work as intended in right-to-left locales).
  2. We keep the logo at the default 192px size, rather than 180px, which is a 0.75 scaling of the original 256px PNG.
  3. We use the default size between the wordmark and "Extended Support Release", which increases the gap by 6px.

Stable:

Nightly:

How Tested

Re-built my dev build with branding/tb-nightly pointing to a different releases's directory. Opened the about dialog.
