* owner: tbb-team => sysrqb * status: new => assigned Comment: Unfortunately this is not working as expected. In addition to #25659, during testing I am seeing https-everywhere successfully load, but then it doesn't rewrite any URLs. I also tested using an older version of Orfox (based on 52.2.0), and it bundles https- everywhere 5.2.20 (tagged on 05 Jul, 2017). This combination of https- everywhere+Orfox works as expected, and the URLs are rewritten. If I leave Orfox open for some time, https-everywhere automatically updates to version 2018.4.11 (webextension). After restarting the app, I see the add- on loads, but it doesn't perform any URL rewrites. I see some messages in the log about an error processing the add-on's manifest, but it seems like the extension is loaded successfully. {{{ I/Gecko (24006): 1523904137200 addons.xpi DEBUG getModTime: Recursive scan of https-everywhere-...@eff.org I/Gecko (24006): 1523904137200 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Starting timer I/Gecko (24006): 1523904137500 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Starting write I/Gecko (24006): 1523904137700 addons.webextension.https- everywhere-...@eff.org WARN Loading extension 'https-everywhere- e...@eff.org': Reading manifest: Error processing permissions.3: Unknown permission "tabs" I/Gecko (24006): 1523904137700 addons.webextension.https- everywhere-...@eff.org WARN Loading extension 'https-everywhere- e...@eff.org': Reading manifest: Error processing browser_action: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest.

Next, I'll try bundling https-e 5.2.20 with the newest Orfox version, because I'm curious if that reliably loads and if it rewrites URLs. If we can't get https-everywhere loading or working reliably, I'd rather remove it from Orfox in the next release. I don't want to give the false impression https-everywhere is loaded and working - when it isn't working in reality. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25603#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
