1488316 - media.webrtc.debug. prefs in about:support contain private information

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

In about:support, under "Important Modified Preferences", among the prefs I see are:
media.webrtc.debug.aec_log_dir
media.webrtc.debug.log_file

Both contain a file path, including my OS username.

If I use [Copy text to clipboard], those prefs are included.

I think this is easily fixed by blacklisting them in /toolkit/modules/Troubleshoot.jsm.

Since these two prefs are used for fetching WebRTC logs I think it's safe to blacklist them.
