Audit HTTP/2 and SPDY if neededBug 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.

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.

Windows Jump Lists fail for Tor BrowserBug 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.

notify users that update is downloadingBug 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 shows "vendor remoteName" as a title of the "... is playing media" notification on Linux. However, for our browser the remote name is enough, and prepending the vendor to it creates a string users usually never see.

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 is ignored because of RFP and it is confusing for users.

Also, ensure that FirefoxViewHandler.openTab returns early rather than throwing.

This commits makes it possible to disable OS spoofing in the HTTP User-Agent header, to see if matching header and JS property improve usability.

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.

We also sent a patch to Mozilla to seed the internal network ID, to prevent any accidental leak in the future. Upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1817756

Make RemoteSettings use only local dumpsBug 42730: Revert some changes

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.

Remove MOZ_EME build option and make EME disabled by preferences.bug 1300654). We don't want to ship it right now as the use case for it is not really visible while the code had security vulnerabilities in the past.

The GeckoView AndroidManifest.xml is not preprocessed unlike Fennec's manifest, so we can't use the ifdef preprocessor guards around the permissions we do not want. Commenting the permissions is the next-best-thing.

This is a workaround to fix the GeckoView build with WebRTC disabled. We should replace this workaround with a proper solution, that excludes this test when MOZ_WEBRTC is undefined/False.

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.

Need to reload the page after insertring the onion auth keyBug 43218: Switch to browser.reload, since "Browser:Reload" signal was dropped upstream.

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.

Migration code for removing Twitter, Yahoo, and YouTube from the local extension database.

For now this function only deletes old language packs for which we are already packaging the strings with the application.

This patch associates the about:manual page to a translated page that must be injected to browser/omni.ja after the build. The content must be placed in chrome/browser/content/browser/manual/, so that is then available at chrome://browser/content/manual/. We preferred giving absolute freedom to the web team, rather than having to change the patch in case of changes on the documentation.

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.

Whenever a valid Onion-Location HTTP header (or corresponding HTML <meta> http-equiv attribute) is found in a document load, we either redirect to it (if the user opted-in via preference) or notify the presence of an onionsite alternative with a badge in the urlbar.

14.0 stableBugDesktop
Invalid onion sites are shown as secure in the page info windowBug 42743: Check for .onion in the actual document URI in pageInfo.

One of our patches checks whether we are in a .onion domain when showing the security information in pageInfo.xhtml. However, it checks it in the requested URI rather than doing it on the actually loaded URI, therefore about:neterror is shown as a secure Onion service, which is not consistent with failures in loading clearnet domains with HTTPS.

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.

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563246 Firefox implemented fetching the Public Suffix List via RemoteSettings and replacing the default one at runtime, which we do not want.

After upstream changes between Firefox 115 and 128, we had to completely rework the way in which we define our search engines.

This commit replaces the old "Omnibox: Add DDG, Startpage, Disconnect, Youtube, Twitter; remove Amazon, eBay, bing".

With that commit, we customized a list of addons IDs to ship as built-in search engines, but then upsteam moved to using only RemoteSettings. The configuration has many more fields, and it would be quite long to include it in the source code. Therefore, we use some local JSON files and load the settings from them.

It's time for our rotation again: Move the backup key in the front position and add a new backup key.

Add an about:tbupdate page that displays the first section from TorBrowser/Docs/ChangeLog.txt and includes a link to the remote post-update page (typically our blog entry for the release).

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.
