1829643 - Remove the pref "privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomization.enabled" in favor of RFPTargets

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Tim Huang[:timhuang]]

We introduced the pref privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomization.enabled to control the whole fingerprinting randomization. We can remove it and move to use RFPTargets to decide if we need to generate the randomization key, i.e., only generate keys if there are any relevant RFPTargets are enabled.

As part of this we should erase all instance of testGranularityMask which is only used by the fp-randomization code now. We have the pbmode prefs that should be usable for this purpose I believe.

Attachment: Bug 1829643 - Remove the pref "privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomization.enabled" and "privacy.resistFingerprinting.testGranularityMask". r?tjr!

This patch removes the pref for fingerprinting randomization in favor of
the RFPTargets. We will check if any fingerprinting randomization target
is enabled to decide if we need to generate session and random key.

This patch also removes the testGranularityMask pref that is no longer
needed.
