Commits: 66650a2e by Pier Angelo Vendrame at 2023-07-25T23:31:49+02:00 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.

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.

.sjs files depend on redirects to load static files. In D168648 we block redirects on sourceMappingUrl, so this browser_source_map-reload.js fails because we use .sjs to serve the content.

In bug 1772170, I added code to ensure that the cached offsets are valid. However, this didn't account for the possibility that one of the containers contained 0 characters. In that case, offset 0 is itself invalid. If there were also no children, this might in GetChildAtOffset being called and returning null, causing a crash when retrieving selection.

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.

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".

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).

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.

- - - - - d1149500 by Igor Oliveira at 2023-07-26T21:53:00+02:00 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.

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/.

- - - - - 71e39eb0 by Kathy Brade at 2023-07-26T21:53:15+02:00 Bug 13379: Allow using NSS to sign and verify MAR signatures
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.

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.

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.
