#22240: Selectively re-enable extension auto updates. --------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: yawning | Owner: yawning Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser Sandbox | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | --------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Right now, regardless of how it's setup the sandbox disables extension auto-updates, as they will fail in the default configuration anyway (can't write the updated extension to disk), and because third parties being able to ram new versions of critical extensions down the user's throat is bad.
The browser people are talking about disabling extension auto-updates for all bundled extensions. This removes one of my objections to having auto updates enabled, so if the user configures their sandbox in a way that allows for extension updates to succeed, maybe the auto updater should also be re-enabled. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22240> 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
