440d5482a1 IronFox v146.0
ironfox-oss/IronFox!109
____

## Changes

- [Added missing Gecko icons/branding assets](90e371ec7c).
- Added a toggle in settings that forces the browser to *always* use private mode *(similar to Firefox on Desktop)*. The setting is *disabled* by default, and is located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Always use private browsing`**.
- [Disabled Mozilla's new `Unified Trust Panel` by default](2eaa0c7c9a), as it prevents users from being able to control the cookie banner blocker on a per-site basis.
- [Enabled Mozilla's new redesign for private browsing mode](43661d10a7) by default.
- Fixed [an issue with `BankID` authentication](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/213) on certain websites *(Thanks to [rajtsic](https://gitlab.com/rajtsic)!)*.
- [Removed Mozilla's new `Clear Key` CDM](f9a0a07793).
- Updated cbindgen to [`0.29.2`](https://docs.rs/crate/cbindgen/0.29.2).
- Updated to Firefox [`146.0`](https://firefox.com/firefox/android/146.0/releasenotes/).
- [Various tweaks to improve and refine the build process, as well as other minor changes, tweaks, and fixes](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/merge_requests/109/diffs).

d6c4c71cb1 IronFox v143.0
ironfox-oss/IronFox!80
____

## Changes

- [Fixed an issue that caused the browser to always attempt to install uBlock Origin, even if deselected on the onboarding](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/180).
- [Fixed and added back the `Debug Drawer` secret setting](c6e1c4cd68).
- [Glean](https://github.com/mozilla/glean) is now built with [Tor Browser's no-op UniFFI binding generator](766e179979).
- Prevented the browser from initializing the [Nimbus *(Experimentation)* library](https://experimenter.info/getting-started/engineers/getting-started-for-android-engineers/).
- Rebased onto Application Services [`v143.0`](https://github.com/mozilla/application-services/releases/tag/v143.0).
- Rebased onto Firefox [`143.0`](https://firefox.com/firefox/android/143.0/releasenotes/).
- Rebased onto Glean [`v64.5.5`](https://github.com/mozilla/glean/releases/tag/v64.5.5).
- Removed additional unwanted/unnecessary components used for data collection and marketing.
- Removed [Glean](https://github.com/mozilla/glean) from Mozilla's [Android Components](https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/mobile/android/android-components/README.md).
- Removed [Glean](https://github.com/mozilla/glean) from [Application Services](https://github.com/mozilla/application-services).
- Removed the `Enable disk cache for secure webpages` UI setting toggle. Note that the `Enable disk cache` toggle is a master-switch, it disables disk cache for *both* insecure *and* secure websites, and it remains off by default.
- Removed the `Hard-fail OCSP revocation checks` UI setting toggle, as we no longer enable or use OCSP by default, in favor of CRLite *([See details](e599bd459e))*.
- Removed [Nimbus](https://experimenter.info/getting-started/engineers/getting-started-for-android-engineers/) from the [`engine-gecko` Android component](https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/mobile/android/android-components/components/browser/engine-gecko/README.md).
- [Stubbed `PlayStoreReviewPromptController`, and removed the now-unnecessary microG `Tasks` library](52791d3500).
- Updated the default Rust version [for **Gecko** and **Glean**](ec6ee31f83) to [`1.89.0`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/releases.html#version-1890-2025-08-07).
- Updated Phoenix to [`2025.09.07.1`](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/releases/tag/2025.09.07.1).
- [Other tweaks, refinements, and minor enhancements](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/merge_requests/80/diffs).

55c8741776 fix: Temporarily disable secure storage for certain preferences (We still enable it for Firefox account state though) - we've recently received complaints from users who had certain settings reset, and I suspect this is the culprit. We'll have to do further research and investigation, and can hopefully re-enable this in the future though.

d59067449c Build GeckoView Lite instead of Omni
GeckoView `Lite` is the standard/default GeckoView used by embedders. GeckoView `Omni` is a separate build that adds the Glean library, and it's what Mozilla uses for ex. Firefox. Obviously, we don't want Glean - and since this is the only difference between the builds, using `Lite` is the obvious choice for us

See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mobile/android/geckoview/contributor/geckoview-architecture.html#lite-and-omni-builds for more details

03eb98b232 Add a separate settings fragment for IronFox-specific UI settings
This should allow for easier maintenance and updates in the future, and provides all of our custom settings in one centralized place (This is also similar to ex. LibreWolf)

240a957fa6 Stub the Beacon API (navigator.sendBeacon) internally, instead of relying on uBlock Origin
This is especially important since we now have uBlock Origin as optional on the onboarding; and even with that aside, this is also beneficial for other reasons - ex. I suspect that this will improve performance, this will ensure users are still protected if they disable uBo for a site, etc... - In general, I also just think this is better handled by the browser

99ae5abd6a Add toggles to enable/disable WebGL and WebRTC globally
While we currently block WebGL by default with uBlock Origin (and it's similarly possible to block WebRTC with uBlock Origin), these toggles are useful for users who want to disable WebGL and/or WebRTC globally, and know they don't need/wish to use it for ANY website. This is also primarily beneficial from a security perspective, as it also provides further attack surface reduction
