c90341dded 1244: HTTPS-Only mode update (#1031) 2020-10-07 12:10:24 +00:00
d5ccf4693b fixup font prefs vs RFP, fixes #1025 (#1028)
- make 1401 inactive: it affects RFP's FPing
- remove old warning/setup-web: we do not care about documenting breakage or FPing risks when we have a warning and they are inactive. If someone uses them, that's on them
- new warnings

commit: a56ba85936
issue: #1026
2020-10-02 08:36:15 +00:00
a56ba85936 remove dom.IntersectionObserver.enabled #1026
- this was made inactive in v68
- since at least FF79, when active as false, it breaks the web and browser consoles
- it breaks websites
- it breaks extensions: e.g. uBO panel functionality
- it does nothing to mitigate possible fingerprinting (which was why it was initially added as a concern) - i.e the API only provided a standardized method, it does not stop previous/earlier workarounds

9c98972d14 misc2 (#1010)
* forceMediaMemoryCache breakage

* add back ESR68-EOL for prefsCleaner users
2020-09-05 15:42:34 +00:00
75a03df0f7 miscellaneous (#1007)
- less active prefs
   - now that ESR68 is EOL, at least a whopping two (0602, 1273)
   - also I don't know when the default changed - another whopping whole one (1240)
   - and where we do enforce/reset a pref to default, lets say that
   - this is not a definitive list, sing out if there is anything else
- IPv6 info
   - especially for Iron Heart who likes to claim that this pref breaks 5% of sites
- cleanup of settings tags now we only care abut ESR78+

* The ghacks community and commentators Literally thousands of sources, references and suggestions. Special mention to:
* [12bytes](https://12bytes.org/articles/tech/firefox/firefoxgecko-configuration-guide-for-privacy-and-performance-buffs)
* The 12bytes article now uses this user.js and supplements it with an additional JS hosted at [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/12bytes.org/Firefox-user.js-supplement)
<sup>1</sup> The ghacks user.js was an independent project by [Thorin-Oakenpants](https://github.com/Thorin-Oakenpants) started in early 2015 and was [first published](https://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/18/a-comprehensive-list-of-firefox-privacy-and-security-settings/) at ghacks in August 2015. With Martin Brinkmann's blessing, it will keep the ghacks name. * This [12bytes article](https://12bytes.org/articles/tech/firefox/firefoxgecko-configuration-guide-for-privacy-and-performance-buffs) which uses the `arkenfox user.js` and supplements it with an additional JS hosted at [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/12bytes.org/Firefox-user.js-supplement)
