igt0: Last Week: - Testing fingerprinting and linkability defenses for TBA: #25703. The last week focus was android ability to open and send data to external apps. - Even if the external-default is false, Orfox(fennec) opens external apps: #25790 - Investigating an exception when an malformed android-app intent is clicked, even when external-default is false.
- sysrqb: igt0, are you using a fuzzer or manual testing? (igt0: Manual testing, I am not sure if a fuzzer would help for privacy related issues, however I am open for ideas :))
- moved to a new place (was without internet the whole friday :( ) This week: - Keep looking into #25703 (Test linkability/fingerprinting defenses for TBAndroid).
tjr - Have spent a considerable amount of time on working on getting the x64 version of MinGW running. - Most of that time has been spent on getting a debug version with symbols working actually. - Current status: There is a belief from a few folks (ted, binutils) that there are so many symbols in Firefox I am overflowing 'something' in gcc with debug information or something. - Next step is to start parsing coff format and try to figure it out... - I am not sure how much more time I can spend on this... - All (or most) fingerprinting work is on hold until Ethan's team resumes and a plan is determined =/
boklm: Last week: - reviewed #25481 (Enable rust support in Linux nightlies) - setup a new VM for nightly build with more disk space - made some ansible scripts to setup nightly builds (#25817) This week: - help with building the new alpha - finish setup of new nightly build VM and enable email notifications - work on fixing testsuite issues - investigate binutils reproducibility issue
