Commits: ec6904bc by Pier Angelo Vendrame at 2023-02-08T09:53:37+01:00 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

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 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.

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).

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.

Change the language selector to be sorted by language code, rather than name, and to display the language code to the user.

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.

This is a temporary patch that we need until we switch our strings to Fluent. The reason is that we currently set strings when we populate our XUL content. We could rework the whole mechanism, but it is not worth it because we want to switch to Fluent, which will handle everything automatically.

Firefox creates a profile as a fallback for old versions. However, we do not need this, so we want to prevent Firefox from creating the related directories.

We comment out the code, but should Mozilla be interested in a compile-time flag, we could rewrite the patch to add one.

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/.

Treat about:blank as the default home page and new tab page.

Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.jsm in order to avoid several network requests that we do not need.

The URL query stripping service is enabled only in nightly builds, still it is initialized and remote settings are downloaded. This adds a condition that prevents the service from being initialized if disabled.

Upstream Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1812594 We should remove this patch if Mozilla decides that this is a problem also for them, or if they do not but we decide to use the feature.

This component adds a new Security Level toolbar button which visually indicates the current global security level via icon (as defined by the extensions.torbutton.security_slider pref), a drop-down hanger with a short description of the current security level, and a new section in the about:preferences#privacy page where users can change their current security level. 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.
