document startup.homepage* prefs

Add disabled prefs to UI section
May be useful as some users might consider these "automatic connections"
Ref. #153

[pyllyukko]

What should we do with these?

[pyllyukko]

Should you add -p these so that you don't revert previous stuff?

[nodiscc]

Rebased

[pyllyukko]

I still feel that these homepage thingies aren't necessary in the user.js. Might be minor annoyance, but not really any kind of privacy/security issue. Wouldn't you say?

And also to keep it tidier.

Maybe we could document these in the wiki?

I agree. Let's close this PR.

Maybe we could document these in the wiki?

:/ I think information is currently too much scattered between user.js comments, the wiki, the readme... In my experience it leads to duplicate/outdated/don't-know-where-to-look documentation. It can be made cleaner eg by:

• Moving all info from these wiki pages to the user.js file itself, alongside relevant prefs/sections
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Home
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Caching
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/CIPHERS
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Extensions-&-Plugins
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Firefox-exploits-&-vulnerabilities
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Firefox-features-and-components
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/HTML5---APIs---DOM
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/HTTP
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Local-Dom-Storage
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Misc
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/TLS---HTTPS----OCSP
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/UI-related
  • https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/Firefox-autoconnections
  • There's at most a few links by section/page
  • Wiki tables appear to be broken
  • If the info does not fit in user.js it's probably not relevant, remove it.
• Move some tests from https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js#online-tests to relevant prefs/sections in user.js
• Move info from https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js#what-does-it-do to section descriptions in user.js, and instead generate the "What does it do?" section do from section descriptions in user.js (ezpz sed/awk/Makefile magic)
• Move https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/FAQ, to README.md
• Closing the wiki: Github Flavored Markdown is not very portable, there are authenticity issues with world-writable wikis, all in all it's harder to maintain than generating it from static comments/.md files. If you think this bloats the user.js file/README, just discard irrelevant information.

So closing. Let me know if you agree with the above and if I should open a new issue.

Moving all info from these wiki pages to the user.js file itself, alongside relevant prefs/sections

Yes, the wiki should be cleaned up, gathering the relevant parts and then closing it completely. All the relevant info should be in the README.

    If the info does not fit in user.js it's probably not relevant, remove it.

I agree.

Move some tests from https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js#online-tests to relevant prefs/sections in user.js

Moved or copied? I think the online tests section is good in the README as it is, but some of the tests could be also in the user.js.

Move info from https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js#what-does-it-do to section descriptions in user.js, and instead generate the "What does it do?" section do from section descriptions in user.js (ezpz sed/awk/Makefile magic)

I don't think that's a good idea. I think we should have it the similar way it's now, kinda summarizing different aspects of the hardening.

Move https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/wiki/FAQ, to README.md

Haven't looked what's there :P

Yes.
