1574090 - Migrate fission.autostart to StaticPrefList.yaml to make it available in the compositor process

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Preferences: Backend, task)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

To enable bug 1574089, fission.autostart should be in StaticPrefList.yaml.

Can StaticPrefList.yaml represent prefs that are locked in beta or release?

No. In the long-term this capability should be added.

For now, if you keep the entry in all.js with the locked attribute, and also add an entry to the YAML file, I think it will work the way you want. But I would test it carefully, because it's not a well-tested configuration.

OK. The patch here seems to work.

Retroactively moving fixed bugs whose summaries mention "Fission" (or other Fission-related keywords) but are not assigned to a Fission Milestone to an appropriate Fission Milestone.
