Comment (by gk): Replying to [comment:4 mcs]: > Replying to [comment:3 gk]: > > Do we want that for 8.0.1? I am a bit wary to break things while switching to `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL`. What we should do at any rate is looking at the differences `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL` is causing and check whether the current status of Tor Browser 8 (i.e. not setting it) is problematic. If not, then we could give it a round of testing in 8.5a2 maybe? If we think we are good got 8.0.1, though, I am happy to take it for that point release. > > Whether to take this for 8.0.1 is a difficult decision. Looking at the following, I am more concerned about the lack of `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL` than what will happen if we enable it: > https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr60/search?q=MOZILLA_OFFICIAL > > For example, `browser/base/content/browser-development-helpers.js` is loaded, which adds a surprising "restart the browser now" shortcut key of Ctrl+Alt+R (Cmd+Alt+R)on macOS). Yes, but that should be a safe thing (even if unexpected), right? > On the other hand, we have probably made all ESR60-based Tor Browser builds so far without it, so there may be some unexpected problems :( > > Maybe that argues for trying it in 8.5a2. If you feel there is nothing that is potentially harmful then I'd take the safe approach and ship 8.5a2 with it first. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27623#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
