I believe this was supposed to make it to beta as well.  Can you request uplift Ehsan?  Peter, can you confirm?

Confirmed.  We should use the strict list in Nightly and beta to reflect what will ultimately ship earlier on.

It was already done, see bug 1501657.

It's misleading that this bug is closed bug the feature hasn't shipped yet. Landing a patch directly in this bug was a mistake.

I'm reopening it to use it for the original purpose: switching default cookie restrictions to use the strict list.

Fixing terminology in the subject:

The Level 2 list from Disconnect includes the advertising, analytics, social, and content categories. It is a larger list of trackers than the Level 1 list, which is just the advertising, analytics, and social cookies. We block cookies by default in Firefox release for trackers on the Level 1 list. This bug is to switch to blocking cookies from trackers on the larger Level 2 list.

We avoid using the words "strict list" because "strict" refers to the Strict mode of Enhanced Tracking Protection, as sen here: about:preferences#privacy.

Since this bug already had a patch landed and regressions are already being tracked against that change, I think it would make more sense to just add "in Nightly" to the title of this bug and open a new bug for enabling the pref on the release channel.

Now that we partition 3rd party state (TCP) we no longer need to pursue this.
