755a45505f snippets providers
`browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.snippets`

These (which landed in FF64 with snippets above) are not in the user.js, so why bother with the snippet one
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.cfr`
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.onboarding`

also these aren't in the user.js
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.cfr-fxa`
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.message-groups`
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.messaging-experiments`
- `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.whats-new-panel`

There are no privacy concerns here. At the end of the day, what Firefox connects to and sends is E2EE and only used locally in non-web content: and you have other prefs and a UI to disable them from being displayed

5c37d50f4e tidy
- remove useless `see` word for reference links
- fixup 0701
   - "do not play nice" is not measurable
   - don't reference to self as a source: people can just search "VPN leak Ipv6" or something
2020-12-07 19:34:14 +00:00
77abf35761 tidy
- shrink and remove outdated info from section 0300 header
- combine some bugzillas
- drop some references
   - 1647829 for HTTPS-Only mode
   - hardware metrics: not going to implicitly encourage users to use this pref or tell them what sizes to use
- update [STATS]
   - also remove TLS [STATS].. stats on TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are irrelevant: the default is now TLS 1.2+
- single CRLite reference for all blog articles
- save 588 bytes so all you bastards can theoretically load Firefox just that tiny bit faster

Starting in user.js v67, we only disable the auto-INSTALL of Firefox. You still get prompts

Previously we also disabled auto-INSTALLING of extensions (302b).
We only disable the auto-INSTALL of Firefox (app) updates. You still get prompts to update,
and it only takes one click. We highly discourage disabling auto-CHECKING for updates.
There are many legitimate reasons to turn off auto-INSTALLS, including hijacked or monetized
extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, dev/testing, and fear of breakage/bugs. It is
still important to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually if you make changes.
