    • user_pref("privacy.clearSiteData.formdata", true);
  • removed
    • 4 legacy sanitizing prefs that have been inactive since jesus
  • made inactive and moved to 6050 for prefsCleaner
    • 13 legacy sanitizing prefs

The legacy prefs are anything starting with privacy.clearOnShutdown. (notice the . at the end i.e without _v2) and privacy.cpd. You can reset these and remove them from your overrides to clear out the noise.

⭐ 136 is already out (don't ever wait on arkenfox to update your Firefox). The new FF136 prefs will migrate from the FF128 prefs which migrated from the legacy prefs. It pays to open each dialog to ensure the migration happens. Update any overrides to suit. Note: the migration happens after the user.js is applied, so close and restart Firefox to check if something isn't quite right.

🟩 changelog summary

Still no pref changes, but it's been a while :) A reminder to never wait on arkenfox to update Firefox.

This release is mostly about adding information about FPP since this is now live (for non-RFP users) - also see #1804 - so the sooner this info is there, the better

The .1 refers to arkenfox, and has nothing to do with Firefox's versioning. Point release to better align ESR115 users' defaults with AF and the wiki moving forward - mainly the relaxing of some defaults

THIS is the release for all those who will use ESR115
