From 755a45505fb6f00e8f712006f4799cbeb934e720 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thorin-Oakenpants Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2020 10:25:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] snippets providers `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.snippets` These (which landed in FF64 with snippets above) are not in the user.js, so why bother with the snippet one - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.cfr` - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.onboarding` also these aren't in the user.js - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.cfr-fxa` - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.message-groups` - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.messaging-experiments` - `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.whats-new-panel` There are no privacy concerns here.
