1210740 - Add mozSetting which is bound to the gecko pref for Tracking Protection

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Settings, defect)

Description

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

We need to be able to toggle tracking protection with a setting, so we need to bind a mozSetting to this pref:

privacy.trackingprotection.enabled

According to the latest spec [1], we are disabling Tracking Protection by default, but allowing it to be toggle-able from Settings. This gecko patch is the first step.

I'm sad that we turn that off by default (page 13 has no justification for the choice). Also this is a *global* setting, not something per window. It's a bit unclear to me from the spec if we expect to be able to turn it on/off independently for each browser frame.

For 2.5, we will only have the global setting. More granular controls will come in the next version.
