I can do that and work with the rest of the ports team. May you stay healthy and successful in your catch up and other stuff. 👍 På torsdag 16. juli 2026 kl. 17:30, skrev Caspar Schutijser <[email protected]>: > > Do you mean the changes to www/mozilla-firefox/files/policies.json > on July 1st or something else?

Like hardening, turning off AI, disabling telemetry, toggling privacy features, and other changes. This is mirrored somewhat by the arkenfox(previously ghacks user.js) project and www/mozilla-firefox in tree already includes many(not all) of these adjustments, particularly security ones. Firefox sometimes includes features or new/renamed toggles between updates that librewolf turns off, transitions when removed/renamed or changes default values for flags so one doesn't manually have to slough through various hidden or poorly documented values and apply them in the about:config page. More security, privacy, and turn off new features while allowing people to opt in manually by default compared to upstream, or at least that is what librewolf project professes to do. I think policies.json added the disable AI and another (mis)feature that Leah already had in the mozconfig-openbsd. So probably no worries on that front at least. Yeah, I agree Leah can look at the mozconfig-openbsd when they're back. Leah did a lot of that work in her initial port and has adjusted that since, so I feel more comfortable waiting for that knowledge base and expertise. Thanks to you(Caspar) and Landry for the commit and may you all have a good one too. :D Night. -- yaydn
