1776760 - Turn on Total Cookie Protection for all channels (phase 4)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, enhancement)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

Currently behavior is 5 only in nightly (bug 1628486) but probably all channels in 103+ replacing the previous default of 4 (nightly bug 1492563, all bug 1525727)

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5b2d2863bd315f232a3f769f76e0eb16cdca7cb0/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#1789-1795

This is the next phase after rolling out TCP via nimbus to 100% bug 1767384.

Comment 1

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Current desire is to turn on Total Cookie Protection in 103 as "100%" nimbus rollout should be done during 102

Comment 2

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: We want to turn this on for ESR 102.1 at the same release timeframe as 103

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The bug is marked as tracked for firefox103 (beta). However, the bug still isn't assigned.

:timhuang, could you please find an assignee for this tracked bug? If you disagree with the tracking decision, please talk with the release managers.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: This pref flip is the last stage of the Total Cookie Protection rollout (phase 4). We're already enabling TCP for almost 100% of release clients via our staged Nimbus rollout.

• List of other uplifts needed: Bug 1777501, Bug 1777513

ESR Uplift Approval Request

• If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: As part of the global Total Cookie Protection rollout we also want to flip the TCP pref for ESR. We are already targeting ESR 102 with our Nimbus rollout.
