Comment (by mcs): Here are the items that Kathy and I found for Firefox 52: a) As I mentioned in comment:4, captive portal detection is enabled in FF52. It won't be useful over Tor, so we should disable it via `network .captive-portal-service.enabled = false`. I thought we already had a ticket for this, but I cannot find it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1313706 b) MediaError has gained a message property that may include system diagnostic information. We should make sure it does not provide fingerprintable information about the user's computer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaError https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322606 c) Kathy and I don't fully understand what was done in the following bug and how it affects our use of the --disable-eme configure flag: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300654 Maybe the difference is that now the framework that supports EME is always built and --disable-eme only skips building the bundled providers? d) The CustomElementRegistry.get() method of the Web Components API has been implemented. It looks like all of the custom element features are disabled via `dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled = false`, but eventually we should make sure that these APIs do not introduce any linkability problems https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1275838 e) A note related to e10s: use of accessibility tools is no longer a reason to disable e10s (it was for Firefox 48-51, as I noted in comment:11): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1312100 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1310788 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322606 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19048#comment:26> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
