Thunderbird support? #646
Comments
Hah, love how you say maybe 😉. Part of what makes I also wouldn't fork any of CHIEF-KOCH's repositories because then I'd have to make sure links to child porn weren't in there https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/566#issuecomment-438308901. I also don't think it's significant enough to warranty a GPL license. If I had to put any license in there, I'd probably just go with a MIT license. |

@Atavic It would seem Chef Koch has pretty much grabbed a bunch out of the Tor Browser Bundle. I don't see the point in doing that considering a lot of the keys don't make any sense because they don't actually exist in Thunderbird, for example stuff to do with URL bar.
Me neither, and I don't think using the If all remote code is disabled, cookies and JavaScript the surface area is going to be pretty low. There isn't much you can do with plain HTML. None of the privacy stuff or fingerprinting stuff will be relevant either. Would you agree with that assessment @Thorin-Oakenpants? |

As it happens I am going through all the keys in about:config in a fresh Thunderbird profile, and comparing what is in ghacks/user.js. The ones which are not set but set exist in ghacks/user.js i am copying into a text file. I am about 50% done. I decided to start with a fresh Thunderbird 60.5.1 profile. I am adding a few 'extra' ones like for example disabling chat It would probably not be appropriate to branch the main repo, maybe a hard fork. The reason is because I expect we will toggle things like:
hah yeah me too. I like to have all user config settings in a user.js seeing as there's no way to "export" easily from about:config, plus many of the options I don't care about. |
`TBCK doesn't document every toggle because everyone can Google what each setting really changes and most of them are self-explaining anyway or they getting changed/removed by Mozilla after a short time. Yes agreed 100∆ so, WHY-EVEN-DO-IT™ It's my anti-NIKE thingy +until they start start naming ALL of the whales which Japanese whalers are killing (legally, again!) in 2019. ☮️ on Earth, my friends! |
Exactly. I have 211 lines, and it could probably be trimmed down a bit. I went through all the about:config settings in Thunderbird that have been set by the ghacks/user.js and copied them into this file. I also then went and checked through the settings I'd manually set in about:config over my usage. This is what I have got, obviously needs tidying up and commenting and re-indexing. What I might do is keep the "same" categories" you've got in the ghacks/user.js but then completely purge unrelated keys.
I think that would be best as it's really a hard fork and doesn't make sense to add keys that have no code in Thunderbird. click me for details

What do you reckon we should call it? |
|
No you're exactly right. I'll set up a draft repository, on my account and when it's looking good we can add it to the ghacks project. |
|
I have removed obvious things like pocket, hello, urlbar and uitour as they are unlikely to ever appear in Thunderbird or were deprecated and never were in Thunderbird. I have made a bunch of markers that still need attention:
|
|
Some rough stats on that what is in there still to be looked at |
|
Maybe take a look at Thunderbird user.js from the german privacy-handbuch (in english: privacy book) |
|
I don't think it's a good idea to disable tracking protection/safe browsing so I have left those as they were in ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js at least for the time being until uBlock Origin is officially supported on Thunderbird.

I have spooled up a Windows 10 VM for this. I'm also going to go and look in depth https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-release/ to see if any of those "missing keys" actually appear in there. |

@Thorin-Oakenpants is there a style guide for contributors anywhere? I think one should be added to the wiki. It should include things such as:
I am styling it like the other stuff in there, but yeah. I think that would be a good idea, for new people. |
Still it would be nice so that we could be as compliant as possible and therefore requiring the most minimal amount of work from you. Seems like the wiki would be an appropriate place for an article. |
Couldn't agree more, I figured though it was easier to hard fork the
Already complete 6000, 6300. There weren't too many options there anyway. It seems like Enigmail has a lot saner defaults than it used to. It used to love stuffing it's headers, and commits in everywhere but it seems upstream has changed that behavior.
Agreed, disabling JavaScript makes it pretty difficult to fingerprint you anyway, or for that matter use any of the WebExtension APIs.
I'll make sure I do each section as individual commits, in case we want to revert. Now I have finished everything else I think I want to do with this it's a good time.
That will be awesome. |
So I have checked user_pref("media.gmp-widevinecdm.autoupdate", false);I'm not sure why this one wasn't in comm-beta when the other indexedDB is used by Cardbook and Enigmail, so that's sorted. 2 of the 4 options were already set to true by default. These two still appear to be set in Thunderbird 60.5. user_pref("pfs.datasource.url", "");
user_pref("plugins.update.url", "");A lot of these still existed in comm-beta. I'm wondering if that's because Mozilla hasn't purged out all the stuff not relevant to Thunderbird. I am thinking now I might make a branch, and then seriously start culling things, because if I leave stuff in there that might be in Thunderbird 66, I basically have what I started with. Looking here it says:
Looking at their calendar, I estimate Thunderbird 66 will probably be a year or so away, Q1/Q2 2020). In this branch I will have to make sure I check comm-release to see if it's actually used. Sometimes preferences are in there are just cruft and don't actually correlate to any use. /* 2610: disable in-content SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) [FF53+]

I've done a bit more investigation and I really think we shouldn't set There might be other providers in the future that use this feature so simply saying "don't use Google", "they are bad for privacy" isn't an acceptable solution. Disabling JavaScript with that pref didn't seem to break JavaScript running within Thunderbird's UI (and from the scratchpad). Ie I was still able to make popup windows with Apparently JavaScript cannot be executed within an email and hasn't been able to for a long time.
However this brings me to another issue. I tried these: rss switches and nothing happened, they don't seem to work.

As there seems no way to disable JavaScript in the context of RSS, without breaking other features of Thunderbird that actually improve security I think it might just be better to not use RSS in Thunderbird. Some alternative options could be to use a feed reader plugin for Firefox, then at least you'd have uMatrix and the I also observed that when I clicked on Tools > Addons and navigated around addons.thunderbird.net the only links that would open in Thunderbird were from

user_pref("rss.display.prefer_plaintext", true);don't in fact work, as they are not implemented, despite being exposed as prefs I think using RSS in Thunderbird should be avoided at this time. I think we can still go ahead with |

I have been testing our Thunderbird config this with my friend @dngray and we believe this is ready for transfer to the ghacks project. |
|
Hmm, seems I need permission:
|
That's cool. I wasn't sure what was involved.
@tya99 and I believe this is also very important and we love what you've done with the Firefox version. We have maintained the documentation and formatting that previously existed and added our own where necessary. https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-thunderbird-user.js
I would have liked it under ghacksuser.js as it will give it more exposure. Particularly for pull/issues etc. It also means that @tya99 and I can maintain it more openly. Perhaps you could create the repo and I could commit to it? |
That's cool. If you could make a PR I will accept. |
Thunderbird is based off Firefox ESR code. Thunderbird releases tend to come out a month after a new Firefox ESR is released. This being said I think it's better to leave the FF versioning in there as it makes more sense because there is no "non ESR" version of Thunderbird. Thunderbird target is much slower than even ESR of Firefox, so we won't be seeing Thunderbird 66 for some time. When Thunderbird 66 is released I'll do the investigation to see what new config options are available and in use.
That's cool. I just figured it would be easier to make the changes as you go, rather than type them all in the comments box and have me look/replace/act on them 😀. |
Done, I don't think I missed anything. |
None taken, and I will get to work so anything else you can think of...
In regard to that he had been maintaining it. I know him IRL and we live together, so I had as much to do with it as he did. |
Don't worry I won't get my feels in a knot. 😀 |

You have 🔶 we will take 🔷. I have decided that we will clone what articles are relevant from your wiki and rework what needs reworking. Some does not apply, some needs changing, you are 100% right. |
|
I just want to say I have not forgotten about this. I have been busy the last couple of weeks but intend to re-write the wiki stuff where necessary to be more contextually appropriate to Thunderbird. |
|
haven't done a lot of work with TB, but here's what i use |
|
I have taken the advice you suggested in #646 (comment). The wiki has been ported https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-thunderbird-user.js/wiki and new articles have been written by me where appropriate. Where I could use the old ones (with changes) I did. |
that's interesting - i do the same thing a lot - ; instead of ' @overdodactyl @earthlng @ema-pe, @claustromaniac ... if you fellas are interested, i reworked the updater.sh script so it will work with both t-bird and FF - i did this originally to suit my purposes to update the user.js for t-bird on the @dngray repo someone would need to go through and check it since scripting isn't my area of expertise ... come to think of it, i don;t have an area of expertise |

At this point I am waiting for Thunderbird 68.0 which should be around the corner. I do expect to give it a further cleanup and review what exists in source. I am also waiting for the 68-beta: Knock on Pants release to go final. |
|
Just to let those know who are subscribed to this issue. I am still working on this and I plan to incorporate some of the other changes from |
|
thanks for the update :) |

Change in plans. this is now unmaintained for these reasons:
For new users I suggest mutt-wizard. |
|
So we're back to square one… especially Windows users of Thunderbird. Aggrrhh! |
I don't have time right now to maintain something I don't use. On Windows I just open a ssh session to my server. Though if you're interested in maintaining this, (it's not that hard, just a bit time consuming): What is required is that someone:

Hi everyone. Daniel, I think I may be able to take other this. I don't know whether someone has already done it or not, but a quick GitHub search seems to invalidate this possibility. 'waiting for your feedback. |
I can transfer it :-) I have put in the request so you should be able to get it now.
Nobody has opted to do it. Everybody wants to use it but nobody wants to put the work i guess. |
|
Thanks Daniel, that has been fast ! I've started to work on the v68 (locally), you can expect it to be drafted out within some hours/days. Bye 👋 🙇 PS : I'm counting on the community to watch out for changes, and the project will stay open for internal (@tya99 and @dngray of course) and external (yours, young reader !) contributions anyway. PS 2 : [@ghacksuserjs] If they exist, could you update the links to point to the new repository location ? |
I don't think there are any as @Thorin-Oakenpants never decided on making it official. That is why i named it |
Hi,
I didn't see it anywhere but would this work with Thunderbird/be supported? Thunderbird is based off the Firefox ESR and a lot of the options are relevant.
