Bug 1444275 introduced an assertion on the parent process to check that the value of toolkit.telemetry.enabled is the expected one. However, this expected value could be different from the one set and locked e.g. in some forks. Therefore, the assertion prevented debug builds from working in these cases.

This is a workaround to build fat .aars with the compiling enviornment disabled. Mozilla does not use a similar configuration, but either runs a Firefox build and discards its output, or uses artifacts build.
We might switch to artifact builds too, and drop this patch, or write a better one to upstream. But until then we need this patch.

If we fix the issues with MOZ_SERVICES_SYNC, we can restore the component.

Do not ship JSON dumps for collections we do not expect to need.

For the collections in the other buckets, we just save some size by not shipping their dumps.
We also clear the collections database on the v2 -> v3 migration.

Firefox computes an internal network ID used to detect network changes and act consequently (e.g., to improve WebSocket UX). However, there are a few ways to get this internal network ID, so we patch them out, to be sure any new code will not be able to use them and possibly link users.
We also sent a patch to Mozilla to seed the internal network ID, to prevent any accidental leak in the future. Upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1817756

Bug 17252: Enable session identifiers with FPI
Session tickets and session identifiers were isolated by OriginAttributes, so we can re-enable them by allowing the default value (true) of "security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers".
The pref "security.enable_tls_session_tickets" is obsolete (removed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/917049)
Bug 14952: Enable http/2 and AltSvc
In Firefox, SPDY/HTTP2 now uses Origin Attributes for isolation of connections, push streams, origin frames, etc. That means we get first-party isolation provided "privacy.firstparty.isolate" is true. So in this patch, we stop overriding "network.http.spdy.enabled" and "network.http.spdy.enabled.http2".
Alternate Services also use Origin Attributes for isolation. So we stop overriding "network.http.altsvc.enabled" and "network.http.altsvc.oe" as well.
(All 4 of the abovementioned "network.http.*" prefs adopt Firefox 60ESR's default value of true.)
However, we want to disable HTTP/2 push for now, so we set "network.http.spdy.allow-push" to false.
"network.http.spdy.enabled.http2draft" was removed in Bug 1132357. "network.http.sped.enabled.v2" was removed in Bug 912550. "network.http.sped.enabled.v3" was removed in Bug 1097944. "network.http.sped.enabled.v3-1" was removed in Bug 1248197.

Bug 26146: Spoof HTTP User-Agent header for desktop platforms
In Tor Browser 8.0, the OS was revealed in both the HTTP User-Agent header and to JavaScript code via navigator.userAgent. To avoid leaking the OS inside each HTTP request (which many web servers log), always use the Windows 7 OS value in the desktop User-Agent header. We continue to allow access to the actual OS via JavaScript, since doing so improves compatibility with web applications such as GitHub and Google Docs.
Bug 12885: Windows Jump Lists fail for Tor Browser
Jumplist entries are stored in a binary file in: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\ and has a name in the form [a-f0-9]+.customDestinations-ms
The hex at the front is unique per app, and is ultimately derived from something called the 'App User Model ID' (AUMID) via some unknown hashing method. The AUMID is provided as a key when programmatically creating, updating, and deleting a jumplist. The default behaviour in firefox is for the installer to define an AUMID for an app, and save it in the registry so that the jumplist data can be removed by the uninstaller.
However, the Tor Browser does not set this (or any other) regkey during installation, so this codepath fails and the app's AUMID is left undefined. As a result the app's AUMID ends up being defined by windows, but unknowable by Tor Browser. This unknown AUMID is used to create and modify the jumplist, but the delete API requires that we provide the app's AUMID explicitly. Since we don't know what the AUMID is (since the expected regkey where it is normally stored does not exist) jumplist deletion will fail and we will leave behind a mostly empty customDestinations-ms file. The name of the file is derived from the binary path, so an enterprising person could reverse engineer how that hex name is calculated, and generate the name for Tor Browser's default Desktop installation path to determine whether a person had used Tor Browser in the past.
The 'taskbar.grouping.useprofile' option that is enabled by this patch works around this AUMID problem by having firefox.exe create it's own AUMID based on the profile path (rather than looking for a regkey). This way, if a user goes in and enables and disables jumplist entries, the backing store is properly deleted.
Unfortunately, all windows users currently have this file lurking in the above mentioned directory and this patch will not remove it since it was created with an unknown AUMID. However, another patch could be written which goes to that directory and deletes any item containing the 'Tor Browser' string. See bug 28996.

On systems where H.264 is not available or no HWA, VP9 is preferred. But in Tor Browser 7.0 all youtube videos are degraded to VP8.
This behaviour can be turned off by setting media.benchmark.vp9.threshold to 0. All clients will get better experience and lower traffic, beause TBB doesn't use "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Since we hardcode Arimo as a default sans-serif on preferences, we use it also for the UI. FontConfig will fall back to some other font for scripts Arimo does not cover as expected (we tested with Japanese).

This commit makes Firefox look for the default profile directory in a directory relative to the binary path. The directory can be specified through the --with-relative-data-dir. This is relative to the same directory as the firefox main binary for Linux and Windows.
On macOS, we remove Contents/MacOS from it. Or, in other words, the directory is relative to the application bundle.
This behavior can be overriden at runtime, by placing a file called system-install adjacent to the firefox main binary (also on macOS).

It looks like these cases should only be invoked in the NSS command line tools, and not the browser, but I decided to patch them anyway because there literally is a maze of network function pointers being passed around, and it's very hard to tell if some random code might not pass in the proper proxied versions of the networking code here by accident.

- - - - - 8a77ae3f by Igor Oliveira at 2024-03-22T12:34:01+01:00 Bug 23104: Add a default line height compensation
Many fonts have issues with their vertical metrics. they are used to influence the height of ascenders and depth of descenders. Gecko uses it to calculate the line height (font height + ascender + descender), however because of that idiosyncratic behavior across multiple operating systems, it can be used to identify the user's OS.
The solution proposed in the patch uses a default factor to be multiplied with the font size, simulating the concept of ascender and descender. This way all operating systems will have the same line height.

Bug 41372: Handle Japanese as a special case in preferences on macOS
Japanese is treated in a special way on macOS. However, seeing the Japanese language tag could be confusing for users, and moreover the language name is not localized correctly like other langs.
Bug 41378: Tell users that they can change their language at the first start
With multi-lingual builds, Tor Browser matches the user's system language, but some users might want to change it. So, we tell them that it is possible, but only once.

MOZ_SOURCE_URL is created by combining MOZ_SOURCE_REPO and MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET. But the code takes for granted that it refers to a Hg instance, so it combines them as `$MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/rev/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET`. With this commit, we change this logic to combine them to create a URL that is valid for GitLab. $MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET needs to be a commit hash, not a branch or a tag. If that is needed, we could use /-/tree/, instead of /-/commit/.

Windows: disable "runas" code path in updater (15201). Windows: avoid writing to the registry (16236). Also includes fixes for tickets 13047, 13301, 13356, 13594, 15406, 16014, 16909, 24476, and 25909.
Also fix bug 27221: purge the startup cache if the Base Browser version changed (even if the Firefox version and build ID did not change), e.g., after a minor Base Browser update.
Also fix 32616: Disable GetSecureOutputDirectoryPath() functionality.
Bug 26048: potentially confusing "restart to update" message
Within the update doorhanger, remove the misleading message that mentions that windows will be restored after an update is applied, and replace the "Restart and Restore" button label with an existing "Restart to update Tor Browser" string.
Bug 28885: notify users that update is downloading
Add a "Downloading Base Browser update" item which appears in the hamburger (app) menu while the update service is downloading a MAR file. Before this change, the browser did not indicate to the user that an update was in progress, which is especially confusing in Tor Browser because downloads often take some time. If the user clicks on the new menu item, the about dialog is opened to allow the user to see download progress.
As part of this fix, the update service was changed to always show update-related messages in the hamburger menu, even if the update was started in the foreground via the about dialog or via the "Check for Tor Browser Update" toolbar menu item. This change is consistent with the Tor Browser goal of making sure users are informed about the update process.
Removed #28885 parts of this patch which have been uplifted to Firefox.

Firefox strings use { -brand-product-name }. As a result, it seems that the fork is recommending extensions, whereas AMO curators are doing that. So, we replace the strings with custom ones that clarify that Mozilla is recommending them.
We assign the strings with JS because our translation backend does not support Fluent attributes, yet, but once it does, we should switch to them, instead.

This hides it from both the toolbar and the unified extensions panel.
We also hide the unified-extension-button if the panel would be empty: not including the NoScript button when it is hidden. As a result, this will be hidden by default until a user installs another extension (or shows the NoScript button and unpins it).

In addition, the hanger and the preferences page will show a visual warning when the user has modified prefs associated with the security level and provide a one-click 'Restore Defaults' button to get the user back on recommended settings.
