1722050 - Implement ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

We've been making the ESR not warn about JNLP (see bug 1648786) for enterprises that still use it.

A better long term solution is to implement the Micrososft policy

ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#disable-download-file-type-extension-based-warnings-for-specified-file-types-on-domains

From Gijs:

You'd want to add code at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2022d34edd5817948b27f093cd203ae6adb18a25/toolkit/components/downloads/DownloadIntegration.jsm#740-753 that consulted the list of safelisted origins from policy, using the origin associated with aDownload in that method, and skipped the prompt in that case.
