Package: firefox Version: 66.0.1-1 Severity: normal Firefox shield appears to be disabled in the Debian sid release of firefox in 66.0.1. I've also seen this feature being called or related to "user studies" and "normandy".
This is a feature that allows Firefox to push quick changes without a full release. It also allows firefox to do A/B studies on their users if they allow it. This is a recent bug in Firefox that a shield fix could fix: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973 It appears Debian users will have to wait for a point release for the fix. -- Package-specific info: -- Addons package information -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.6.1 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2 ii libasound2 1.1.8-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-8 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-4 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.12-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-4 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libnspr4 2:4.20-1 ii libnss3 2:3.42.1-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libsqlite3-0 3.27.2-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.13.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.13.1-2 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-3+b3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1+b3 ii procps 2:3.3.15-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages firefox recommends: ii libavcodec57 7:3.4.3-1 ii libavcodec58 7:4.1.1-1 Versions of packages firefox suggests: pn fonts-lmodern <none> pn fonts-stix | otf-stix <none> ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii pulseaudio 12.2-4 -- no debconf information
