When will Librewolf be moving to using FPP?

Does this mean the default Firefox FPP RFPTargets? Or I assume it means it will use FPP with RFPTargets set or choosen specifically by Librewolf, is that correct?

LibreWolf (Firefox-Based Browser)

Should be happening soon. I already have a PR ready for the changes, just need to others from the team look at it.

If you had RFP disabled, nothing changes (you either keep the Firefox default FPP RFPTargets or whatever custom ones you added).

If you had RFP enabled, you get FPP +AllTargets.

Ok great. Thanks!

How will this differ from Firefox with ETP strict on? Firefox uses FPP…with some targets set? And Librewolf will use FPP with AllTargets?

Ideally, with Librewolf I think I would want it to be FPP +AllTargets but have easy toggles in settings where I can turn off things like time zone spoofing and forced light mode etc.

Should we move these questions to a DM or another thread?

Firefox has these RFPTargets with ETP strict.

If RFP was not explicitly disabled by the user, it will use +AllTargets.

My current PR has a checkbox to toggle between the default RFPTargets Firefox uses with ETP Strict and using +AllTargets.

Adding UI components for certian RFPTargets sounds like a good idea.

Since this is the main LibreWolf thread, I don’t think it is off topic. You can still DM me if you want to.

I could see the merit of moving it out of this thread either way, but in terms of DM’ing instead, I’d personally love to be able to follow the discussion somewhere still. :blush:

Thanks again! Very helpful.

Is there list of all targets somewhere you could share easily?

I will also try to do a web search for it too.

Would just love to be able to compare which targets are used by each privacy focused browser - between Firefox, Librewolf and maybe Mullvad.

Mullvad uses RFP which uses all the targets.

Thanks!

How do I disable/turn off time zone spoofing in Librewolf?

And light mode?

Go to about:config

privacy.resistFingerprinting → false

privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides → +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme,-JSDateTimeUTC

Thanks!

Just to be clear…am I disabling RFP with those instructions? I assume yes.

Also, will you post here on PG somewhere when Librewolf switches to FPP as the default?

I might just wait for FPP. It doesn’t spoof the timezone right? Or force light mode?

The above instructions disable RFP, and you then fall back to FPP with the same protections as RFP (because of +AllTargets), except for the explicitly disabled color scheme and UTC time.

Yeah I can announce it here.

The default FPP targets don’t, but our current plan was to switch to +AllTargets by default and, after the initial switch, decide which default targets we want.

Thanks!

Much easier doing this in about:config! I thought I would have to create an override file in the Librewolf folder on my computer somewhere.
