1878407 - FPP is not enabled in Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

It looks like anything in firefox.js isn't in Fenix unless it's also in geckoview-prefs.js.

FPP.pbmode is not in the latter. There are other inconsistencies I'm not sure are intentional. E.g. network.cookie.cookieBehavior.pbmode = 5 in desktop and 4 in fenix. I also cannot figure out where the ETP Strict behaviors get defined, since it's here for desktop.

privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled is another difference.

That one was to 4 to keep it consistent with network.cookie.cookieBehavior. The latter was changed from the default 0 to current 4 in this bug, it's not clear to me why they chose 4 and not 5, maybe it was not an option at the time. I see a patch setting that to 5 in Nightly from 2020: click
