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

Change Description

Added display for Lox source in "about:preferences#connection", and updated the "user-provide" dialog to accept Lox invites.

How Tested

The Lox module doesn't seem to be responding to creating new invites, so I have two fake instances of Lox in connectionPane.js and provideBridgeDialog.js. Comment out the Lox import and comment in the fake object instead.

In connectionPane.js you can play around with the fake Lox internals and call gLoxStatus._updateUnlocks() and gLoxStatus._updateInvites().

In provideBridgeDialog.js it will treat any line that starts with "lox-invite" as if it were a lox invite. Try different text entries to generate different errors. You can also set Lox.failError to set the error that the Lox module should respond with for a single invite.
