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

Upstream

• Patchset is a candidate for uplift to Firefox
• Patchset is a backport from Firefox

Change Description

As far as I can tell, all migrations in _migrateUIBB method are run for new profiles. Unlike _migrateUITBB we do not check for this._isNewProfile to exit early.

It is not a problem right now because all the migrations just clear preferences, but we probably don't want this in the future.

How Tested

Untested as of now but should work.
