Abrowser disallows browser extensions from executing on Mozilla domains
Steps to reproduce
- Create a fresh Abrowser profile and launch it in new browser window.
- Navigate to about:config.
- Look up the
extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
preference.
Expected behavior
extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
is by default set to an empty string to allow users to use extensions on Mozilla websites, including for the purpose of blocking nonfree JavaScript there.
Experienced behavior
extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
is by default set to:
accounts-static.cdn.mozilla.net,accounts.firefox.com,addons.cdn.mozilla.net,addons.mozilla.org,api.accounts.firefox.com,content.cdn.mozilla.net,discovery.addons.mozilla.org,install.mozilla.org,oauth.accounts.firefox.com,profile.accounts.firefox.com,support.mozilla.org,sync.services.mozilla.com
Reproduced on
Abrowser 96, 97, 98
Notes
Additionally, even manually clearing the preference does not take effect. Abrowser silently ignores the change and still stops extensions from executing on Mozilla domains as if the preference was still set to its default value.
