this is a linux only pref, does nothing in Windows or Mac, as per tagging convention => [LINUX]. Here's a 15 year old ticket - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160200 .. enjoy! PS: Trying to find an autocopy text (excluding form fields) that auto trims, auto removes multi-spaces, auto trims, and auto removes double blank lines .. I had one, but its legacy. Best I can find is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autocopy-webextension/ - a wee timer in options lets you control when you copy (that's ok), but it gives a notification every time which is annoying as f - anyone got any ideas
- In FF55 (windows) this no longer changes both prefs, only `layers.acceleration.disabled`
- `gfx.direct2d.disabled` => inactive (I do not think it is used much if at all anymore - do a DXR search)
Inactive as this actually can cause problems on Linux with tofu (I think arial on debian causes tofu - ask nodiscc) . Also incomplete with non-Western settings
Inactive: 1: currently only three sites (hard-coded) can access this, all run by Mozilla 2: it is likely to be used on the new AMO site to determine your Firefox version
Sidenote: Not sure if this is true anymore. Since I ditched CTR and I have the hamburger menu back, it loves to annoy me with a doorhanger ALL THE F**kng TIME - certainly not 8 days grace. Seems more like 12 hours (but I swear it also comes up soon after a restart as well)
it's most likely covered by disabling extensions.formautofill but is nice to know for people who want to enable form-autofill but may want to disable creditCards autofill
The bulk of 2507 with `dom.keyboardevent.code.enabled` (links, description etc) is now deprecated in section 9999 under FF55+. This leaves `dom.keyboardevent.dispatch_during_composition` as a valid pref. It's default is false, so rather than leave it hanging out on it's own with no info, lets remove it. [If it ever becomes true we will pick up in diffs]
- should check if 0360 `user_pref("browser.newtabpage.directory.source", "data:text/plain,");` is still around since the ping pref is gone.
- A bit iffy about 2507 - this spilts two prefs and there's a lot of text. Not sure if FF38+ refers to the second one. We should investigate the still active 2507 and fix that up with some info and version
the default value in 54 is true. It's not in my OS diff for 54 either so it's true on Linux and Mac as well. I don't think anyone would want to disable this anyway, and we have it as "enable APZ". It's only wasting space, let's remove it. class discuss xD
moved screenshots up to 0515 and added the FF54 pref. I know I said we can remove that pref but the item needs to be for FF54+ regardless. To make it less confusing I added the pref back in.
The default is false in FF54 (and also in FF55 beta), so there should be no downsides. Not sure how this will affect AutoFormFill system addon, and don't care since we'll disable that as well
Non e10s and non WebExtension = out the door. NoRedirect & Disable IndexedDB were not e10s, and Cookie Controller is not WE (and besides, there are lots of cookie alternatives). I think that's all of them. In fact I think the only extensions left mentioned are uBlock Origin and NoScript
Also `addon-ons` typo not picked up by Just-me-ghacks - I am bitterly disappointed.
Add missing parrot for 1100s, replace parrot for 1700 with a unique euphemism, a readme tweak (so it's technically correct), and deprecated pocket number change in prep for new system add-on section
