User Story

For the purposes of this metabug, a preference is considered old if it has existed for at least one year.

We have a lot of old preferences that add to process startup and runtime, test and code complexity and don't provide much value for even advanced users. This bug will track identifying them.

I'm going to flag some bugs under it that are rolling out Nightly-only features to release, it would be great to have tooling to remind us to go back and remove those prefs too.

I'm doing an initial search through of prefs with 'enabled' or 'disabled' in the name that are 3+ years old and don't appear from a cursory search to be flipped in any unusual configuration or would need to be flipped by end-users. It's entirely likely I'm wrong about many of these, so please just WONTFIX them as appropriate.

Bug 1734056 and the bug duped to it have a bunch of old plugin related pref stuff.

maybe

  • privacy.partition.serviceWorkers - been default true since FF105
  • privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage - default true since FF109
  • privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage.exempt_sessionstorage - default false since FF109

edit: what happened there, it un-depended those 4 bugs?
