1943057 - Remove userScripts prefs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, task, P5)

Description

[Rob Wu [:robwu]]

Remove these two preferences:

• extensions.webextensions.userScripts.enabled - this was about the MV2 userScripts feature that predates the MV3 one, having been true by default for many years already.
• extensions.userScripts.mv3.enabled - this was a hidden pref until recently (bug 1943050). This pref is not really designed to be flipped by users, as it only applies to new extension installations (or whenever permissions are recomputed, e.g. at browser updates). We should remove this pref whenever it is true by default everywhere.
