[Git][tpo/applications/tor-browser][tor-browser-102.9.0esr-12.5-1] 159 commits: Bug 1774413: Bundled fonts are not picked up on macOS r=jfkthame
Richard Pospesel pushed to branch tor-browser-102.9.0esr-12.5-1 at The Tor Project / Applications / Tor Browser
Commits: 1d882d82 by Pier Angelo Vendrame at 2023-03-09T16:58:14+00:00 Bug 1774413: Bundled fonts are not picked up on macOS r=jfkthame
Bundled fonts were not picked up because also child processes need to register them. Also, they were assigned User visibility, instead of Base, which was not coherent with other platforms.

Add a configuration flag to make Enterprise Policies mechanism only consult a policies.json file (avoiding the Windows Registry, macOS's file system attributes, and /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json on other OS).

nsTransferable was modified to prevent disk leakings when copying data in private browsing mode with Bug 1123480. However, the context is nullptr when it is initialized, so it still leaks if PBM is enabled by default. Our solution is to check the browser.privatebrowsing.autostart in this condition.

macOS unfair locks enforce that a lock can only be released by the thread which locked it.
On macOS 11+ this caused the fork()'d child process to raise a SIGILL signal. Confusingly enough this behavior seems to be different on macOS 10.15 and possibly interacted in odd ways with our exception handler if it was installed before fork()-ing.

On macOS versions prior to 10.15 os_unfair_locks cannot spin in kernel-space which degrades performance significantly. To obviate for this we spin in user-space like OSSpinLock does, for the same number of times and invoking x86-specific pause instructions in-between the locking attempts to avoid starving a thread that might be running on the same physical core.

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.

Bug 41458: Prevent `mach package-multi-locale` from actually creating a package
macOS builds need some files to be moved around with ./mach package-multi-locale to create multi-locale packages. The required command isn't exposed through any other mach command. So, we patch package-multi-locale both to prevent it from failing when doing official builds and to detect any future changes on it.

Even though we disable sync by default with `identity.fxaccounts.enabled`, this about: page is still avilable. We could throw an exception on the constructor of the related component, but it would result only in an error in the console, without a visible "this address does not look right" error page. If we fix the issues with MOZ_SERVICES_SYNC, we can restore the component.

More concretely, SearchService.jsm 'hijack-blocklists' and url-classifier-skip-urls.
Avoid creating instance for 'anti-tracking-url-decoration'.
If prefs are disabling their usage, avoid creating instances for 'cert-revocations' and 'intermediates'.
Do not ship JSON dumps for collections we do not expect to need. For the ones in the 'main' bucket, this prevents them from being synced unnecessarily (the code in remote-settings does so for collections in the main bucket for which a dump or local data exists). 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.

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.

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".

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.

Bug 22548: Firefox downgrades VP9 videos to VP8.
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".

The mechanism to choose the UI font does not play well with our fontconfig configuration. As a result, the final criterion to choose the font for the UI was its version.
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).

- - - - - 728c53bb by Igor Oliveira at 2023-03-09T17:12:14+00:00 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 only and only if the frame is outside the chrome.

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/.

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.

See also Bugs #5194, #7187, #8115, #8219.
This patch does some basic renaming of Firefox to TorBrowser. The rest of the branding is done by images and icons.
Also fix bug 27905.
Bug 25702: Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines
- Updated all of the branding in /browser/branding/official with new 'stable' icon series. - Updated /extensions/onboarding/content/img/tor-watermark.png with new icon and add the source svg in the same directory - Copied /browser/branding/official over /browser/branding/nightly and the new /browser/branding/alpha directories. Replaced content with 'nightly' and 'alpha' icon series. Updated VisualElements_70.png and VisualElements_150.png with updated icons in each branding directory (fixes #22654) - Updated firefox.VisualElementsManfiest.xml with updated colors in each branding directory - Added firefox.svg to each branding directory from which all the other icons are derived (apart from document.icns and document.ico) - Added default256.png and default512.png icons - Updated aboutTBUpdate.css to point to branding-aware icon128.png and removed original icon - Use the Tor Browser icon within devtools/client/themes/images/.
Bug 30631: Blurry Tor Browser icon on macOS app switcher
It would seem the png2icns tool does not generate correct icns files and so on macOS the larger icons were missing resulting in blurry icons in the OS chrome. Regenerated the padded icons in a macOS VM using iconutil.
Bug 28196: preparations for using torbutton tor-browser-brand.ftl
A small change to Fluent FileSource class is required so that we can register a new source without its supported locales being counted as available locales for the browser.
Bug 31803: Replaced about:debugging logo with flat version
Bug 21724: Make Firefox and Tor Browser distinct macOS apps

- - - - - 96884efc by Kathy Brade at 2023-03-13T17:47:02+00:00 Bug 26961: New user onboarding.
Reuse the Firefox onboarding mechanism with minimal changes. Localizable strings are pulled in from Torbutton (if Torbutton is not installed, we lack about:tor and no tour will be shown). Replace SVG images with PNGs (see bug 27002), For defense in depth, omit include OnboardingTelemetry.jsm entirely. Added support for the following UITour page event: torBrowserOpenSecuritySettings
Also fix bug 27403: the onboarding bubble is not always displayed.
Arthur suggested to make the onboarding bubble visible on displays with less than 960px width available, so we choose 200px instead.
Also fix bug 28628: Change onboarding Security panel to open new Security Level panel.
Also fix bug 27484: Improve navigation within onboarding.
Bug 27082: enable a limited UITour
Disallow access to UITour functionality from all pages other than about:home, about:newtab, and about:tor. Implement a whitelist mechanism for page actions.
Bug 26962 - implement new features onboarding (part 1).
Add an "Explore" button to the "Circuit Display" panel within new user onboarding which opens the DuckDuckGo .onion and then guides users through a short circuit display tutorial.
Allow a few additional UITour actions while limiting as much as possible how it can be used.
Tweak the UITour styles to match the Tor Browser branding.
All user interface strings are retrieved from Torbutton's browserOnboarding.properties file.
Bug 27486 Avoid about:blank tabs when opening onboarding pages.
Instead of using a simple <a href>, programmatically open onboarding web pages by using tabBrowser.addTab(). The same technique is now used for "See My Path", "See FAQs", and "Visit an Onion".
Bug 29768: Introduce new features to users
Add an "update" tour for the Tor Browser 8.5 release that contains two panels: Toolbar and Security (with appropriate description text and images).
Display an attention-grabbing dot on the onboarding text bubble when the update tour is active. The animation lasts for 14 seconds.
Bug 31768: Introduce toolbar and network settings changes in onboarding
Update the "Tor Network" onboarding page to include a note that settings can now be accessed via the application preferences and add an "Adjust Your Tor Network Settings" action button which opens about:preferences#tor.
Replace the Tor Browser 8.5 "update" onboarding tour with a 9.0 one that includes the revised "Tor Network" page and a revised "Toolbar" page. The latter explains that Torbutton's toolbar item has been removed ("Goodbye Onion Button") and explains how to access the New Identity feature using the hamburger menu and new toolbar item.

Bug 31457: disable per-installation profiles
The dedicated profiles (per-installation) feature does not interact well with our bundled profiles on Linux and Windows, and it also causes multiple profiles to be created on macOS under TorBrowser-Data.

Before reordering patches, we used to keep the Tor-related patches (torbutton and tor-launcher) at the beginning. After that issue, we decided to move them towards the end.

Because of the non-restartless nature of Torbutton, it required a two-stage installation process. On mobile, it was a problem, because it was not loading when the user opened the browser for the first time.

When handling an external URI or downloading a file, invoke Torbutton's external app blocker component (which will present a download warning dialog unless the user has checked the "Automatically download files from now on" box).
For e10s compatibility, avoid using a modal dialog and instead use a callback interface (nsIHelperAppWarningLauncher) to allow Torbutton to indicate the user's desire to cancel or continue each request.

The following files are never updated: TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profiles.ini TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/bookmarks.html TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc Mac OS: Store update metadata under TorBrowser/UpdateInfo. Removed the %OS_VERSION% component from the update URL (13047) and added support for minSupportedOSVersion, an attribute of the <update> element that may be used to trigger Firefox's "unsupported platform" behavior. Hide the "What's new" links (set app.releaseNotesURL value to about:blank). 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 26049: reduce the delay before the update prompt is displayed. Instead of Firefox's 2 days, we use 1 hour (after which time the update doorhanger will be displayed).
Also fix bug 27221: purge the startup cache if the Tor Browser version changed (even if the Firefox version and build ID did not change), e.g., after a minor Tor 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 Tor 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.

Always load about:tbupdate in a content process, but implement the code that reads the file system (changelog) in the chrome process for compatibility with future sandboxing efforts.

eBay and Amazon don't treat Tor users very well. Accounts often get locked and payments reversed.
Also: Bug 16322: Update DuckDuckGo search engine
We are replacing the clearnet URL with an onion service one (thanks to a patch by a cypherpunk) and are removing the duplicated DDG search engine. Duplicating DDG happend due to bug 1061736 where Mozilla included DDG itself into Firefox. Interestingly, this caused breaking the DDG search if JavaScript is disabled as the Mozilla engine, which gets loaded earlier, does not use the html version of the search page. Moreover, the Mozilla engine tracked where the users were searching from by adding a respective parameter to the search query. We got rid of that feature as well.
Also: This fixes bug 20809: the DuckDuckGo team has changed its server-side code in a way that lets users with JavaScript enabled use the default landing page while those without JavaScript available get redirected directly to the non-JS page. We adapt the search engine URLs accordingly.
Also fixes bug 29798 by making sure we only specify the Google search engine we actually ship an .xml file for.

- - - - - 994505b6 by Richard Pospesel at 2023-03-13T17:47:18+00:00 Bug 23247: Communicating security expectations for .onion
Encrypting pages hosted on Onion Services with SSL/TLS is redundant (in terms of hiding content) as all traffic within the Tor network is already fully encrypted. Therefore, serving HTTP pages from an Onion Service is more or less fine.
Prior to this patch, Tor Browser would mostly treat pages delivered via Onion Services as well as pages delivered in the ordinary fashion over the internet in the same way. This created some inconsistencies in behaviour and misinformation presented to the user relating to the security of pages delivered via Onion Services:
- HTTP Onion Service pages did not have any 'lock' icon indicating the site was secure - HTTP Onion Service pages would be marked as unencrypted in the Page Info screen - Mixed-mode content restrictions did not apply to HTTP Onion Service pages embedding Non-Onion HTTP content
This patch fixes the above issues, and also adds several new 'Onion' icons to the mix to indicate all of the various permutations of Onion Services hosted HTTP or HTTPS pages with HTTP or HTTPS content.
Strings for Onion Service Page Info page are pulled from Torbutton's localization strings.
- - - - - e031c37a by Kathy Brade at 2023-03-13T17:47:19+00:00 Bug 30237: Add v3 onion services client authentication prompt
When Tor informs the browser that client authentication is needed, temporarily load about:blank instead of about:neterror and prompt for the user's key.
If a correctly formatted key is entered, use Tor's ONION_CLIENT_AUTH_ADD control port command to add the key (via Torbutton's control port module) and reload the page.
If the user cancels the prompt, display the standard about:neterror "Unable to connect" page. This requires a small change to browser/actors/NetErrorChild.jsm to account for the fact that the docShell no longer has the failedChannel information. The failedChannel is used to extract TLS-related error info, which is not applicable in the case of a canceled .onion authentication prompt.
Add a leaveOpen option to PopupNotifications.show so we can display error messages within the popup notification doorhanger without closing the prompt.
Add support for onion services strings to the TorStrings module.
Add support for Tor extended SOCKS errors (Tor proposal 304) to the socket transport and SOCKS layers. Improved display of all of these errors will be implemented as part of bug 30025.
Also fixes bug 19757: Add a "Remember this key" checkbox to the client auth prompt.
Add an "Onion Services Authentication" section within the about:preferences "Privacy & Security section" to allow viewing and removal of v3 onion client auth keys that have been stored on disk.
Also fixes bug 19251: use enhanced error pages for onion service errors.

We have enabled HTTPS-Only mode, therefore we do not need HTTPS-Everywhere anymore. However, we want to keep supporting .tor.onion aliases (especially for securedrop). Therefore, in this patch we implemented the parsing of HTTPS-Everywhere rulesets, and the redirect of .tor.onion domains. Actually, Tor Browser believes they are actual domains. We change them on the fly on the SOCKS proxy requests to resolve the domain, and on the code that verifies HTTPS certificates.

This patch associates the about:manual page to a translated page that must be injected to browser/omni.ja after the build.

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.

Bug 22548: Firefox downgrades VP9 videos to VP8.
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".

Allow using NSS on all platforms for checking MAR signatures (instead of using OS-native APIs, the default on Mac OS and Windows). So that the NSS and NSPR libraries the updater depends on can be found at runtime, we add the firefox directory to the shared library search path on macOS. On Linux, rpath is used to solve that problem, but that approach won't work on macOS because the updater executable is copied during the update process to a location that can vary.

Revert most changes from Mozilla Bug 862173 "don't verify mar file hash when using mar signing to verify the mar file (lessens main thread I/O)."
We kept the addition to the AppConstants API in case other JS code references it in the future.
