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
I removed the "(hidden pref)" info when we revamped 2699, as it will no longer be hidden. In hindsight, that info needs to stay (we haven't archived off end-of-life 54, and it's good information for backwards compatibility).
Nits, review syntax etc. Note: 2 items missing deprecation bugzilla tickets, we can get those in time. Note if each section number is made active, the prefs are also - except those which either match the current js (eg TP/SB not active but we do block reporting) or they make no sense or were inactive originally (eg personal 3000 settings etc) - might want to review those choices as well. Also, a few numbers etc changed to match current numbers (eg replaced by items etc, new sections)
See comment https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/103#issuecomment-300911966 - `*safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.*` is for Flash & TP ONLY (original article by francois had a *slight!!* error since fixed)
This means that 0410d was not shared by TP and SB and to clear it all up .. 0410d is moved to 0420's. 0420's also gets the flash pref 0440 moved into the 0420's.
Now it's all tidy: 0410's = google and SB, 0420's = mozilla & TP+Flash
Exception: I am enforcing TP in ALL windows (default is PB Mode only). I have also added the info for which block list to use in TP. Also clarified that 0440 (flash blocklist) uses prefs in 0410d. Also made flash tracking blocklist pref (0440) inactive. Now all TP and SB is allowed, only real time google binary checks and reporting is disabled.
Instead of `geo.wifi.uri` using 127.0.0.1, for those who do use geo (`geo.enabled` is the master switch), enforce Mozilla's service over Google's.
- Default in stable, beta: https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%
- Nightly defaults to mozilla (not usre of the exact string)
- I do not know if this is a telemetry thing for mozilla for non-stable or if this will roll down from nightly
