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.

Disable about:sync-logsBug 41662: Disable about:sync-logs

Even though we disable sync by default with identity.fxaccounts.enabled, this about: page is still avilable. We could throw an exception on the constructor of the related component, but it would result only in an error in the console, without a visible "this address does not look right" error page. If we fix the issues with MOZ_SERVICES_SYNC, we can restore the component.

This hides it from both the toolbar and the unified extensions panel.

We also hide the unified-extension-button if the panel would be empty: not including the NoScript button when it is hidden. As a result, this will be hidden by default until a user installs another extension (or shows the NoScript button and unpins it).

This commit implmenents the the Base Browser's version of _migrateUI.

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.

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.

Inform users when Tor Browser sets their language automaticallyBug 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 commit adds all the strings needed by following Base Browser patches.

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.

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.

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.

This behavior can be overriden at runtime, by placing a file called system-install adjacent to the firefox main binary (also on macOS).

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.

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.

Add support for onion services strings to the TorStrings module.

Do not re-try auto-bootstrapping after the user selects a specific region in about:torconnectBug 42550 - Switch about:torconnect to use TorConnect.stage to control the shown stage and sync pages.

Now TorConnect entirely controls which stage should be shown to the user, and "about:torconnect" simply relays the user actions up to TorConnect to handle. In particular, we stop sending out "torconnect:broadcast-user-action" to sync pages.

We also show "Try Again" if the user cancels the first bootstrap attempt without an error.

We also do not try and sync the selected region between pages. However all pages should still show the actually submitted region after a bootstrap fails. E.g. to confirm their location.

We also allow the user to re-select "Automatic" when they use breadcrumbs to go back a stage.

Also change gTorConnectTitlebarStatus and gTorConnectUrlbarButton to use TorConnectStage.

We change them on the fly on the SOCKS proxy requests to resolve the domain, and on the code that verifies HTTPS certificates.

Refactor about:torconnects relation to TorConnectParentBug 41710: Replace StateCallback in TorConnect.

Instead of managing the abstract "State" we directly manager the user "Stage". We provide backward compatibility with the "State" for android and about:torconnect. Eventually this logic can be dropped from these endpoints and they can listen for changes in the "Stage" instead.

The behaviour for about:torconnect is mostly the same as before, with some exceptions:

1. If the user sees the "Offline" state, and starts and cancels the bootstrap, they should return the to the "Offline" state, rather than "ConnectToTor".
2. Trying to start a bootstrap via the UI before the settings have loaded will do nothing.
3. Pressing a breadcrumb whilst bootstrapping will now also cancel the bootstrap.

Refactor about:torconnects relation to TorConnectParentBug 41710: Move bootstrapping attempts into a new class.

We copy the logic from "BootstrappingState" and "AutoBootstrappingState" into "BootstrappingAttempt" and "AutoBootstrappingAttempt". The main difference is that we can do the following:

bootstrapAttempt = new BootstrapAttempt();
bootstrapResult = await bootstrapAttempt.run();
// ...
bootstrapAttempt.cancel();

rather than using the "StateCallback" class, which requires some complicated state management.

Moreover, "AutoBootstrappingAttempt" will use "BootstrappingAttempt" for each of its attempts. So the logic for bootstrapping can be kept in one place.

Some other changes:

1. Censorship simulation will no longer necessarily avoid the Moat calls, so these can be tested.
2. It would be possible to perform the internet test when auto-bootstrapping as well.
3. When auto-bootstrapping, if "Bootstrapping" produces an error other than a "BootstrapError", we can end it early.
4. No longer set TorConnect internals.
5. More fine-grained control over censorship simulation and offline simulation.

Lox.generateInvite does not convert JSON object to stringBug 42597: Make buildPostRequest accept fetch arguments.

This allows the request to buildPostRequest in the Lox module use the same arguments that would be passed to fetch.

Also, return the text stream, rather than JSON.

ch.asyncOpen is not a JS async function, so no need to await it. The async in the name means that the channel will call methods from a listener object that it takes as an argument when it receives data.

Fix a couple of references to Moat in the generic DomainFrontedRequests module.

• migrated in-page settings read/write implementation from about:preferences#tor to the TorSettings module
• TorSettings initially loads settings from the tor daemon, and saves them to firefox prefs
• TorSettings notifies observers when a setting has changed; currently only QuickStart notification is implemented for parity with previous preference notify logic in about:torconnect and about:preferences#tor
• about:preferences#tor, and about:torconnect now read and write settings thorugh the TorSettings module
