Details

(Whiteboard: [trr])

Ported from GitHub issue #178

Summary:

Watch/listen for pref that if detected can do one of the following:

  • Leave network.trr.mode setting as is and disable heuristics
  • Set all network.trr.mode users with value of 2 to 0 and disable heuristics
  • Set all network.trr.mode users with value of 0 to 2 and disable heuristics

Note: Any user with a network.trr.mode of 3 or 5 would not be targeted. Additionally, heuristics will already be disabled for them.

// Pref that will clean up after the add-on in case of emergency.
const DOH_REMOTE_DISABLE_PREF = "doh-rollout.remote-disable";

Nhi, do you know the story behind this? Do we need this urgently?

Flags: needinfo?(nhnguyen)

We want a mechanism to undo the addon's actions if necessary. I'd say this is P3.

Any user who has the mode pref changed will not run the doh-rollout code.
Not sure when that got fixed.
