Never worked here in years. |
testpage: http://webdbg.com/test/appcache/ - you need to allow appcache on insecure sites!

the default is true anyway for ESR52.x and FF60+ (and I assume for FF52+) branches
both these removed prefs are enforcing the default in ESR52.x and FF60+ (and I assume FF52+) branches
I'd prefer something like this (without listing the pref): /* 0422: enable "strict" Tracking Protection list
* [SETTING] Privacy & Security>Tracking Protection>Change Block List
* [SETTING-ESR52] Privacy>Use Tracking Protection>Change Block List ***/ maybe with a note like "There's a pref for this but it's hard to keep track of and we don't recommend to add it to your user.js." There's also this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/firefox-63-to-get-improved-tracking-protection-that-blocks-in-browser-miners/
which I guess will change the TP prefs + their values quite a bit. |
2732 was just enforcing default since at least FF52, and 2733 has never been used, was only there for info. Offline Cache or appCache (2730) is already behind a prompt (2731), and is already limited (in FF60+) to HTTPS (2730b).
Yes, that's what it does. Switching to the "strict" list for example, adds the This crypto-mining and fingerprinting stuff will show up as new lists (probably something like |
Found 2 more to remove user_pref("browser.slowStartup.maxSamples", 0);
user_pref("browser.slowStartup.samples", 0); the slowStartup function immediately returns when IDK if we need to disable the slowStartup check at all. It's kind of nice to be able to see the average startup time (stored in All it does is measure average startup time and if it's higher than the value of |
then why not remove |
yeah np, was just an idea |
also see this comment In ESR I think it's shown on the FF Start Page (about:home) the 1st time it loads. Up to you whether you want to remove it now or wait for FF62 and then move it to 9999. while digging in the code I also noticed that the following 3 prefs are never used when user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "");
user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "");
user_pref("startup.homepage_override_url", ""); // what's new page after updates these pages are just shown once after each update/upgrade or in new profiles. If someone actually wants to see (some of) them, commenting out just (some of) those 3 prefs won't do anything. /* 010x: disable all "Welcome" and "What's new" pages ***/
// user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
/* 010xb: disable the "Welcome" or "What's new" pages ***/
// user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "");
// user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "");
// user_pref("startup.homepage_override_url", ""); // What's New page after updates |
Not trying to spam (just an honest question!), bt the whole trackingprotection deal; do you guys, actually, use it?! As we've got various ad-blockers, script-blockers and /or other Add-ons - who's using the built-in lists?.. Would it not make more sense to go around Mozilla, since we're excluding - pretty much - everything else?? o.0 |
looking forward to hear what you uncover
