Package: firefox Version: 65.0.1-1 Severity: important Control: affects -1 webext-umatrix
Dear Maintainer, I'm not sure if this relates to upstream, since it's to do with webextension loading Debian paths. The behaviour in firefox-esr is fine. I only recently switched to using firefox 65, so did not notice this until recently. The webext-umatrix extension uses symlinks to other packages, like this: $ ls -gG /usr/share/webext/umatrix/lib/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 Feb 21 22:38 diff/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 30 Aug 6 2011 codemirror -> ../../../javascript/codemirror/ -rw-r--r-- 1 9994 Feb 21 22:21 publicsuffixlist.js lrwxrwxrwx 1 40 Feb 21 23:04 punycode.js -> ../../../javascript/punycode/punycode.js This works in firefox-esr but not firefox (65), instead in the Browser Console I get: Loading failed for the <script> with source “moz-extension://62446e26-cedb-4973-97f8-2dddc4c9d55f/lib/punycode.js”. If I replace the symlink with the real file and restart firefox 65, it works again. If I copy punycode.js to p.js and then symlink punycode.js to p.js, this also works. So the problem is not with symlinks themselves, but it seems that somewhere firefox is checking the absolute path and refusing to load paths outside of /usr/share/webext. I tried to grep the firefox source code but was not able to figure out which part might be doing this. Please fix this as it prevents us from properly deduplicating files in Debian webextension packages.
