The ability to lock prefs at the .js level is not *only* for enterprise customization. Specifically, we have many "prefs" that are meant to allow e.g. per channel (release, beta, nightly) tweaks but are not meant for users to change. There are multiple such footguns that would be avoided by having firefox ship those as locked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

user.js was never intended to be an enterprise level feature for configuration of Firefox. I don't recommend using it for that. For enterprise configuration, we have provided Autoconfig since day one, and we are working on a better solution involving JSON, GPO and possibly authors. Our goal is to move away from the various hack solutions that folks have created in order to configure Firefox. What specific customizations are you looking to do with Firefox?

[Bug 541951]
To expound on what :glandium said:
Extensions can lock preferences with:
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefService)
.getBranch(null)
.lockPref("name_of_pref");
Locking a preference doesn't affect the value, it just locks the
preference to the user. Obviously any extension could unlock a
preference and do what they want with that value.
Locking preferences is not for the benefit of preventing other
extensions from messing with things, it's to keep users from messing
with things.
Oddly, this document:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/A_brief_guide_to_Mozilla_preferences
Says we already support lockPref in JS files?

It's the same syntax. The only difference aiui, is the execution environment, which means autoconf can do more javascript-y things, which, as you point out, is already a source of confusion.

Bug 440908 - Allow preference files to set locked prefs.
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/202672/#review208008
As per our IRC discussion, I think this is a good feature, and the patch
does a good job of implementing it. But before doing this I'd like to
officially split the prefs file format in two -- one format for default
prefs, and one for user prefs -- and then only support `locked_pref` in
default prefs files. And I want to need to think about that for a bit,
just to make sure it's a good idea.

The patches in bug 1394578 are going to bitrot this again. Sorry :(

It would be nice to replace these three bools with a single enum that
has the following alternatives: Default, StickyDefault, LockedDefault,
User. That would simplify some of the code below.

Keeping track of the true and false values here is tricky. If you
changed it to an int you could make the "testPref.locked.int" use 100
and 101, and "testPref.unlocked.int" use 200 and 201, or something like
that, and it would be a bit easier to read.

This string comment isn't quite right, because you can set a locked
pref.

This comment string is a bit weird too.

Comment on attachment 8613433 Allow .js preference files to set locked prefs with lockPref() Because this came up on the mailing list, I'll try to be explicit about the decision here. I don't think we should allow extensions to lock preferences, and we don't even have a clear description (other than this code) of what it means to "lock" a preference: whether changes to the default value are still allowed, or the user value, etc. The code is the incidental part of this; it's the basic problem and solution space that's totally unclear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(In reply to Mike Kaply [:mkaply] from comment #30) > It's not the same syntax, that's my point. I tend to agree here. I think this could be a useful patch (I'd use it instead of doing autoconfig stuff) but it's kind of silly to be hung up on naming... I do think that "lockPref" sticks out relative to the calls for "default_pref", and "sticky_pref". I'm a +1 for calling it "locked_pref". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 541951]
It's not the same syntax, that's my point. pref() in a prefs.js file is NOT the same as pref() in an AutoConfig.js file. pref() in prefs.js sets the default pref, defaultPref() in an Autoconfig sets a default pref. user_pref() in prefs.js sets a user pref, pref() in an AutoConfig file sets a user preference. So what you're doing is making it look like autoconfig.js and prefs.js use the same syntax, when they do not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

:( Ideally, I'd like to favor this patch over the one I proposed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=976334 - since it has been tried and tested for so long...and that just adds another use case for this: ease of locking preferences for android distributions (which aren't as straightforward when it comes to specifying the autoconfig file in the install directory) Is it just a matter of having someone sign off on it, or were there outstanding concerns outside of the syntax? It seemed like it kind of just got dropped due to time constraints 2+ years ago, but that there now are actually some compelling use cases for it. Can't the fact that it's been needed and used by Debian for so long be an indication of the stability and/or utility of the patch? just an appeal to *someone* to perhaps move this along... Aside from that, :glandium - how often does this patch "break"...that is, how many times have you had to rework it because of changes in the upstream code? I ask because I actually would consider applying this patch and using it in my own distribution - even if it never lands. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a fly by night review. I don't think it should be lockPref like autoconfig. With autoconfig, it's a function call. With the default pref files, you're specifying a preference. so: locked_pref(foo, bar) makes more sense it that context (the same as user_pref) Looking through the code, it looks like you've assumed that if a pref is locked, it becomes a default as well, is that correct? The code looks good to me, but I'm not the right person to do this. I think this is a good solution to the problem you are seeing and makes it a lot easier for enterprises to lock prefs, so this would be a good thing to have. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541951 Title: Firefox 3.6 does not honour lockPref To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/541951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
