f394fd0290 move webgl to hardware fingerprinting
- merge into a single number, update the alt pref number
- update RFP info to reflect that it is not a cure-all

a7ba61c0d4 0304: background service app update [windows]
- the service implies a check is done first, I'm more concerned with the actual updating: not that updates are bad, it's about controlling when (if ever e.g. my test suite)
- since 0301 has to be done manually in Windows, 0302 is a good fallback **IF** the background service is applicable (read the link)
- clean up the numbering

babb9f3682 4612: remove outdated confusing line 2021-07-22 03:41:39 +00:00
b22e349d44 make 4620 more accurate and match RFP section info 2021-07-20 03:38:49 +00:00
bb48fe4ebe RFP: 4612 is not disabled (by default) 2021-07-20 03:34:49 +00:00
44a8088481 tidy
- "enforce" is for when we set the default value
- use [WARNING] for inactive (they're inactive for a reason and people really do not need to turn them on) but less scary [NOTE] for active (tweak away at your own risk)
  - seems neater, easier and less scary for users setting up the first time: i.e they only need to initially look at active items
  - FYI: I was going to add something to LSNG (2760) that it is required for Fission, but will wait, and it struck me that 2680 was the only active item with a warning: seems inconsistent
- 2684: security delay .. make enforce mean enforce (default) ... not worth occasionally saving .3 seconds
   - for now it's one less item in differences/flips
   - might make this inactive in 91+, and add a warning
   - it has been a very long time since we added this due to bad advise/references on the internet on how to speed up Firefox
