Omnibus proved that the Shirley features improve user engagement while not regressing activation or retention:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16JEiQ_8XSk3nBs9qcwMZC-76m4nttb1YRKwc6Xhf1xE/edit#heading=h.dywl2xu8cafc
We want to enable the Shirley features to all users. This bug in particular tracks enablement of the www redirect feature.
Details:
Servers with SSL certificates not configured for non-www domains return SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN when users reach https://domain.com instead of https://www.domain.com. This pref allow redirecting users automatically so they don't encounter cert errors.
Acceptance criteria:
- Set security.bad_cert_domain_error.url_fix_enabled to true

The intention is to ship this with 84, an uplift will therefore be required.

Bug 1678056 - Enable www redirect fix for bad cert domain errors by default. r=prathiksha
Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request
- User impact if declined: Not getting a cool feature that has a significant impact on certificate error rates.
- Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
- Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
- Needs manual test from QE?: No
- If yes, steps to reproduce:
- List of other uplifts needed: None
- Risk to taking this patch: Low
- Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This is not adding new code, just enabling a feature that has baked in Nightly and Beta for a while and has already been on Release as part of the Shirley thing, where it was proven to have a positive effect on error rates.
- String changes made/needed: None
