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 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.

Geckoview: Expose security level interfaceBug 40125: Expose Security Level pref in GeckoView

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).

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/.

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.

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.

In RESOLVED FIXED(Fx118), Blocks: 82851
file:// needs to expand ~ to home directory in some OSBug 93141, Mozilla started sending users to their home when they type ~ in the URL bar. On Linux, we change $HOME for various reason, therefore you would be redirected to the spoofed home directory when typing ~. So, we check if the original home directory is known, and use that, instead.

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.

This should remain disabled, see 14.0 stableAll PlatformsTaskesr-128
Opt out from Firefox relay by default.tor-browser#42814.

The OS language might be outside the list of actually supported languages and it might leak the user's region. Therefore, we force the locale reported in Accept-Language to match one we support with translations, even when it means using a not exact region tag.

This checks privacy.spoof_english whenever setLocales is called from Fenix side and sets intl.accept_languages accordingly.

Expose privacy.spoof_english pref in GeckoViewBug 40198: Expose privacy.spoof_english pref in GeckoView

Windows has a system to set font aliases through the registry. This allows some customization that could be used as a fingerprinting vector. Moreover, this mechanism is used by Windows itself, and different SKUs might have different default FontSubstitutes.

We ship a fontconfig configuration to esnure all Linux users have the same defaults and reduce the chances of fingerprinting. We used to add this file in tor-browser-build, but some users might skip it by using the browser executable without the wrapper script. Therefore, we decided to activate the file with the FontConfig API instead of the environment variables.

FontsLinux
Investigate why STIX Two becomes the default font on LinuxBug 41043: Hardcode the UI font on Linux

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).

Hardcode Arimo as a system-ui fontBug 43141: Hardcode system-ui to Arimo.

XHR requests initiated by extensions are exempt from RFP. Therefore, they report the actual app name, instead of Firefox, and the actual Firefox minor version.

This happens whenever the app name has been customized and does not match a hardcoded "Firefox".

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

Do not include Normandy at all whenever MOZ_NORMANDY is False.

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.

These files are built reproducibly using tor-browser-build: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_requests/715

We're manually adding them here while working on the interface, but eventually these should be placed in the right location using tor-browser-build.

Shown in the downloads panel, about:downloads and places.xhtml.

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.

All PlatformsApps::Type::ChoreDoingOnion ServicesTask
Drop effective top level domain for au.securedrop.tor.onionTB 43443: Drop au.securedrop.tor.onion effective TLD.

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.

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.

Add support for Tor extended SOCKS errors (Tor proposal 304) to the socket transport and SOCKS layers. Improved display of all of these errors will be implemented as part of ProjectUX

Also fixes FeatureUX
TorBrowser might want to have an error page specific to when .onion links failbug 19251: use enhanced error pages for onion service errors.

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.
