Per discussion in PR #2875 our NPAPI implementation doesn't support plugins
using GTK3 anyway so there's no point in keeping this footgun for a GTK3 setup.
The pref should not be conditional on which plugin or GTK version is in use. If
Windows users want Flash in-process, or GTK3 users want in-process plugins, we
should let them. If it breaks, they at least have half a browser.
While at it the checks for accessibility hardware support have also been taken
out, because they're only relevant for Flash anyway. Being able to disable OOP
should not depend on whether you use a11y.
This interface inly has a single implementation behind it, which is also
only used in 2 places after the previous commit. That's a lot of
additional complexity and compiler indirection for no good reason.
This change removes the interface and uses direct nsDocShell::Cast calls
instead of going through the interface in the few places left now that
we no longer build on a presentation context for links.
We're currently fairly vague and inconsistent about the values we provide to
content policy implementations for requestOrigin and requestPrincipal. In some
cases they're the triggering principal, sometimes the loading principal,
sometimes the channel principal.
Our existing content policy implementations which require or expect a
loading principal currently retrieve it from the context node.
Since no current callers require the principal to be the loading
principal, and some already expect it to be the triggering principal
(which there's currently no other way to retrieve), a choice was made
to pass the triggering principal whenever possible, but use the loading
principal to determine the origin URL.
nsPluginInstanceOwner only listens to keypress events in the default event group.
However, in our changed operating mode, keypress events are not fired in the
default event group if the key does not result in something printable.
This means that nsPluginInstanceOwner should also listen to keypress events
in the system event group and should handle each keypress that way, but
only once. I.e., if a printable keypress event is received in the system event
group, it should be ignored, since it would've already been handled in the
default event group in that case.
This should do it for all the commits to files I changed, but while I'm in here I could probably go ahead and turn ALL the singular if defined statements into ifdef statements by using grep/find on the tree. On the other hand, perhaps we should do that as a separate issue so that this doesn't become a case of scope creep.
https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/82dd4adb0eca729372074d62435e00a783d95b1f/components/desktop/firefox/patches/firefox-49-npapi.patch
The first fix was something I found on Oracle's patchset and allowed me to use the last Flash Player compiled for Solaris, from all the way back in 2012. Still works with most Flash content.
The second is an evolution of what I had to do to get Interlink to compile. For Interlink, I basically had to copy the contents of any boolean values from confvars.sh into the empty moz.configure file, otherwise nothing would get configured. I decided to test whether Pale Moon had the same issue, and it turned out that it wasn't as bad as on Interlink, but it was still pure luck that the browser component built at all, because MOZ_PHOENIX and other important flags were apparently not being defined at all, hence why I couldn't get half the extensions to be compatible at first.
I don't know why this is the case, but apparently configure.in isn't able to import values from confvars.sh. old-configure.in seems immune to the problem that application-specific configure.in files were experiencing, though. confvars.sh itself seems to work fine with values that aren't passed along via configure.in, though. So it's the interface between those two files that is messed up.
Compared with what Pale Moon had for Solaris originally, this is mostly the same zero point I started patching from, but I've made the following changes here after reviewing all this initial code I never looked at closely before.
1. In package-manifest.in for both Basilisk and Pale Moon, I've made the SPARC code for libfreebl not interefere with the x86 code, use the proper build flags, and also updated it to allow a SPARC64 build which is more likely to be used than the 32-bit SPARC code we had there.
2. See Mozilla bug #832272 and the old rules.mk patch from around Firefox 30 in oracle/solaris-userland. I believe they screwed up NSINSTALL on Solaris when they were trying to streamline the NSS buildsystem, because they started having unexplained issues with it around that time after Firefox 22 that they never properly resolved until Mozilla began building NSS with gyp files. I'm actually not even sure how relevant the thing they broke actually is to Solaris at this point, bug 665509 is so old it predates Firefox itself and goes back to the Mozilla suite days. I believe $(INSTALL) -t was wrong, and they meant $(NSINSTALL) -t because that makes more sense and is closer to what was there originally. It's what they have for WINNT, and it's possible a fix more like that could serve for Solaris as well. Alternatively, we could get rid of all these half-broken Makefiles and start building NSS with gyp files like Mozilla did.
3. I've completely cut out support for the Sun compiler and taken into account the reality that everyone builds Firefox (and therefore its forks) with GCC now on Solaris. This alone helped clean up a lot of the uglier parts of the code.
4. I've updated all remaining SOLARIS build flags to the newer XP_SOLARIS, because the SOLARIS flag is no longer set when building Solaris.
5. I've confirmed the workaround in gtxFontconfigFonts.cpp is no longer necessary. The Solaris people got impatient about implementing a half-baked patch for a fontconfig feature that wasn't ready yet back in 2009, and somehow convinced Mozilla to patch their software to work around it when really they should have just fixed or removed their broken fontconfig patch. The feature they wanted has since been implemented properly, and no version of Solaris still uses the broken patch that required this fix. If anyone had ever properly audited this code, it would have been removed a long time ago.
NPAPI may handle a 307 redirect across different origins, while they
should only happen on same origin requests. Have the browser check
this before forwarding to NPAPI.
