Bug 1774413: Bundled fonts are not picked up on macOS r=jfkthame
Bundled fonts were not picked up because also child processes need to
register them.
Also, they were assigned User visibility, instead of Base, which was

Bug 1768907 - Part 2: nsTransferable disk-leaks when private browsing mode is enabled by default. r=handyman
nsTransferable was modified to prevent disk leakings when copying data
in private browsing mode with Bug 1123480.
However, the context is nullptr when it is initialized, so it still
leaks if PBM is enabled by default.
Our solution is to check the browser.privatebrowsing.autostart in this
condition.

Bug 1670885 - Fix post-fork() handlers for PHC/LogAlloc to work on macOS using unfair locks r=glandium
macOS unfair locks enforce that a lock can only be released by the thread which locked it.
On macOS 11+ this caused the fork()'d child process to raise a SIGILL signal. Confusingly enough this behavior seems to be different on macOS 10.15 and possibly interacted in odd ways with our exception handler if it was installed before fork()-ing.

starving a thread that might be running on the same physical core.

Avoid creating instance for 'anti-tracking-url-decoration'.
If prefs are disabling their usage, avoid creating instances for
'cert-revocations' and 'intermediates'.
Do not ship JSON dumps for collections we do not expect to need. For
the ones in the 'main' bucket, this prevents them from being synced
unnecessarily (the code in remote-settings does so for collections
in the main bucket for which a dump or local data exists). For the
collections in the other buckets, we just save some size by not
shipping their dumps.
We also clear the collections database on the v2 -> v3 migration.

Bug 14952: Enable http/2 and AltSvc
In Firefox, SPDY/HTTP2 now uses Origin Attributes for
isolation of connections, push streams, origin frames, etc.
That means we get first-party isolation provided
"privacy.firstparty.isolate" is true. So in this patch, we
stop overriding "network.http.spdy.enabled" and
"network.http.spdy.enabled.http2".
Alternate Services also use Origin Attributes for isolation.
So we stop overriding
"network.http.altsvc.enabled" and "network.http.altsvc.oe"
as well.
(All 4 of the abovementioned "network.http.*" prefs adopt
Firefox 60ESR's default value of true.)
However, we want to disable HTTP/2 push for now, so we

Bug 26146: Spoof HTTP User-Agent header for desktop platforms
In Tor Browser 8.0, the OS was revealed in both the HTTP User-Agent
header and to _javascript_ code via navigator.userAgent. To avoid
leaking the OS inside each HTTP request (which many web servers
log), always use the Windows 7 OS value in the desktop User-Agent
header. We continue to allow access to the actual OS via _javascript_,
since doing so improves compatibility with web applications such
as GitHub and Google Docs.
Bug 12885: Windows Jump Lists fail for Tor Browser
Jumplist entries are stored in a binary file in:
%APPDATA%\\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\
and has a name in the form
[a-f0-9]+.customDestinations-ms
The hex at the front is unique per app, and is ultimately derived from
something called the 'App User Model ID' (AUMID) via some unknown
hashing method. The AUMID is provided as a key when programmatically
creating, updating, and deleting a jumplist. The default behaviour in
firefox is for the installer to define an AUMID for an app, and save it
in the registry so that the jumplist data can be removed by the
uninstaller.
However, the Tor Browser does not set this (or any other) regkey during
installation, so this codepath fails and the app's AUMID is left
undefined. As a result the app's AUMID ends up being defined by
windows, but unknowable by Tor Browser. This unknown AUMID is used to
create and modify the jumplist, but the delete API requires that we
provide the app's AUMID explicitly. Since we don't know what the AUMID
is (since the expected regkey where it is normally stored does not
exist) jumplist deletion will fail and we will leave behind a mostly
empty customDestinations-ms file. The name of the file is derived from
the binary path, so an enterprising person could reverse engineer how
that hex name is calculated, and generate the name for Tor Browser's
default Desktop installation path to determine whether a person had
used Tor Browser in the past.
The 'taskbar.grouping.useprofile' option that is enabled by this patch
works around this AUMID problem by having firefox.exe create it's own
AUMID based on the profile path (rather than looking for a regkey). This
way, if a user goes in and enables and disables jumplist entries, the
backing store is properly deleted.
Unfortunately, all windows users currently have this file lurking in
the above mentioned directory and this patch will not remove it since it
was created with an unknown AUMID. However, another patch could be
written which goes to that directory and deletes any item containing the
'Tor Browser' string. See bug 28996.

Browser 7.0 all youtube videos are degraded to VP8.
This behaviour can be turned off by setting media.benchmark.vp9.threshold to 0.
All clients will get better experience and lower traffic, beause TBB doesn't
use "Use hardware acceleration when available".

installation, so this codepath fails and the app's AUMID is left
undefined. As a result the app's AUMID ends up being defined by
windows, but unknowable by Tor Browser. This unknown AUMID is used to
create and modify the jumplist, but the delete API requires that we
provide the app's AUMID explicitly. Since we don't know what the AUMID
is (since the expected regkey where it is normally stored does not
exist) jumplist deletion will fail and we will leave behind a mostly
empty customDestinations-ms file. The name of the file is derived from
the binary path, so an enterprising person could reverse engineer how
that hex name is calculated, and generate the name for Tor Browser's
default Desktop installation path to determine whether a person had
used Tor Browser in the past.
The 'taskbar.grouping.useprofile' option that is enabled by this patch
works around this AUMID problem by having firefox.exe create it's own
AUMID based on the profile path (rather than looking for a regkey). This
way, if a user goes in and enables and disables jumplist entries, the
backing store is properly deleted.
Unfortunately, all windows users currently have this file lurking in
the above mentioned directory and this patch will not remove it since it
was created with an unknown AUMID. However, another patch could be
written which goes to that directory and deletes any item containing the
'Tor Browser' string. See bug 28996.

Bug 41043: Hardcode the UI font on Linux
The mechanism to choose the UI font does not play well with our
fontconfig configuration. As a result, the final criterion to choose
the font for the UI was its version.
Since we hardcode Arimo as a default sans-serif on preferences, we use
it also for the UI. FontConfig will fall back to some other font for
scripts Arimo does not cover as expected (we tested with Japanese).

Bug 9173: Change the default Firefox profile directory to be relative.
This commit makes Firefox look for the default profile directory in a
directory relative to the binary path.
The directory can be specified through the --with-relative-data-dir.
This is relative to the same directory as the firefox main binary for
Linux and Windows.
On macOS, we remove Contents/MacOS from it.
Or, in other words, the directory is relative to the application
bundle.
This behavior can be overriden at runtime, by placing a file called
system-install adjacent to the firefox main binary (also on macOS).

Bug 13028: Prevent potential proxy bypass cases.
It looks like these cases should only be invoked in the NSS command line
tools, and not the browser, but I decided to patch them anyway because there
literally is a maze of network function pointers being passed around, and it's
very hard to tell if some random code might not pass in the proper proxied
versions of the networking code here by accident.

Bug 23104: Add a default line height compensation
Many fonts have issues with their vertical metrics. they
are used to influence the height of ascenders and depth
of descenders. Gecko uses it to calculate the line height
(font height + ascender + descender), however because of
that idiosyncratic behavior across multiple operating
systems, it can be used to identify the user's OS.
The solution proposed in the patch uses a default factor
to be multiplied with the font size, simulating the concept
of ascender and descender. This way all operating
systems will have the same line height only and only if the
frame is outside the chrome.

Bug 41372: Handle Japanese as a special case in preferences on macOS

Bug 41378: Tell users that they can change their language at the first start

language, but some users might want to change it.
So, we tell them that it is possible, but only once.

Bug 41603: Customize the creation of MOZ_SOURCE_URL
MOZ_SOURCE_URL is created by combining MOZ_SOURCE_REPO and
MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET.
But the code takes for granted that it refers to a Hg instance, so it
combines them as `$MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/rev/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET`.
With this commit, we change this logic to combine them to create a URL
that is valid for GitLab.
$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET needs to be a commit hash, not a branch or a tag.
If that is needed, we could use /-/tree/, instead of /-/commit/.

Bug 41599: Always return an empty string as network ID
Firefox computes an internal network ID used to detect network changes
and act consequently (e.g., to improve WebSocket UX).
However, there are a few ways to get this internal network ID, so we
patch them out, to be sure any new code will not be able to use them and
possibly link users.
We also sent a patch to Mozilla to seed the internal network ID, to
prevent any accidental leak in the future.
