commit 021f94de66c3ba05eb16c3b6b0538729d754706b Author: Mike Perry <mikeperry-git@torproject.org> Date: Tue Dec 4 16:03:13 2012 -0800 Bug 3547: Block all plugins. We cannot use the @mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1 service, because we actually want to stop plugins from ever entering the browser's process space and/or executing code (for example, AV plugins that collect statistics/analyse urls, magical toolbars that phone home or "help" the user, skype buttons that ruin our day, and censorship filters). Hence we rolled our own. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3547#comment:6 for musings on a better way. Until then, it is delta-darwinism for us. --- dom/plugins/base/PluginFinder.cpp | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/dom/plugins/base/PluginFinder.cpp b/dom/plugins/base/PluginFinder.cpp index 4e1c1fd53698..cace7d4ef6ba 100644 --- a/dom/plugins/base/PluginFinder.cpp +++ b/dom/plugins/base/PluginFinder.cpp @@ -480,6 +480,9 @@ nsresult PluginFinder::ScanPluginsDirectory(nsIFile* pluginsDir, *aPluginsChanged = false; + // Block all plugins + return NS_OK; + #ifdef PLUGIN_LOGGING nsAutoCString dirPath; pluginsDir->GetNativePath(dirPath);
