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).

e6c69ef28d IronFox v144.0
ironfox-oss/IronFox!92
____

## Changes

- [Added a separate toggle in settings to enable/disable JIT for **extensions**](48a42e213a) when JIT is otherwise disabled globally *(**Disabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Security` -> **`Enable JavaScript Just-in-time Compilation (JIT) for extensions`**.
- [Added support for natively enabling/disabling WebGL per-site](5e1acb19a6) via FPP overrides. **It is now recommended to disable the uBlock Origin `Block WebGL` lists** *(The `Block WebGL` lists will be removed from the uBlock Origin config entirely in the near future, but we're keeping them for now to ex. give users time to update)*. See [Notes](#notes) below for details, such as how you can manually allow desired websites to use WebGL.
- [Added a toggle in settings to enable or disable our default WebGL overrides](c9298799ee) *(**Enabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Enable WebGL overrides from IronFox`**. When WebGL is enabled, this setting enables WebGL by default for certain websites, to reduce breakage/unexpected behavior. Note that this list is **NOT** fetched/updated remotely.
- [Added a toggle in settings to enable or disable spoofing the timezone to `UTC-0`](c8cb5064e4) *(**Disabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Spoof timezone to UTC-0`**.
- [Added a toggle in settings to enable or disable our default timezone overrides](c8cb5064e4) *(**Enabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Enable timezone spoofing overrides from IronFox`**. When timezone spoofing is enabled, this setting disables timezone spoofing by default for certain websites, to reduce breakage/unexpected behavior. Note that this list is **NOT** fetched/updated remotely.
- [Added a toggle in settings to enable or disable *Mozilla's* default fingerprinting protection overrides](64e3706be8) to reduce website breakage *(**Enabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Enable fingerprinting protection overrides from Mozilla`**. Note that this list **IS** fetched/updated remotely.
- [Added a toggle in settings to enable or disable *our* default fingerprinting protection overrides](64e3706be8) to reduce website breakage *(**Enabled** by default)*, located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Enable fingerprinting protection overrides from IronFox`**. This toggle does **not** disable fingerprinting protection overrides that we set to **harden** protection for certain websites. Note that this list is **NOT** fetched/updated remotely.
- [Implemented](522770b2dc) [Phoenix's extension blocklist](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/src/branch/pages/build/policies/blocklist.json) to block malicious/phishing/sketchy extensions.
- [Locked Gecko preferences controlled by UI settings](bc9df5c52c) *(See [details](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/blob/dev/docs/FAQ.md#why-are-certain-preferences-locked))*.
- [Prevented the JIT toggle from controlling `javascript.options.main_process_disable_jit`](8171a4da48), as this pref is not required for JIT to function, and is preferable to leave on - even when JIT is enabled, to improve security.
- Updated to Firefox [`144.0`](https://firefox.com/firefox/android/144.0/releasenotes/).
- Updated microG to [`v0.3.10.250932`](https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/tag/v0.3.10.250932).
- Updated Phoenix to [`2025.10.12.1`](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/releases/tag/2025.10.12.1).
- [Other minor tweaks, adjustments, and enhancements](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/merge_requests/92/diffs).

## Notes

You can manually allow websites to use WebGL with the `privacy.fingerprintingProtection.granularOverrides` preference at `about:config`. For instance, if I want to allow **`example.com`** to use WebGL, I would set the value of `privacy.fingerprintingProtection.granularOverrides` to:

```sh
[{"firstPartyDomain":"example.com","overrides":"-DisableWebGL"}]
```

If I *also* wanted to allow `example2.com`, I'd set the value to:

```sh
[{"firstPartyDomain":"example.com","overrides":"-DisableWebGL"},{"firstPartyDomain":"example2.com","overrides":"-DisableWebGL"}]
```

**[Please report websites that require WebGL to us if possible](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues)**, so that we can investigate and potentially add them to the default WebGL overrides list.

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 [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).
