Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Firefox 3 for Solaris Nevada 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Evan Yan 1.3 Date of This Document: 26 February, 2008 4. Technical Description 1. Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Firefox 3 for Solaris Nevada 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Evan Yan Sponsor: John Fischer 1.3. Date of This Document: Jan 21st, 2008 2. Project Summary 2.1. Project Description: Firefox 3 is based on the new Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform. Gecko 1.9 includes some major re-architecting for performance, stability, correctness, code simplification, and sustainability. Firefox 3 provides backwards compatibility for user profiles. User profiles of Firefox 2 can be used by Firefox 3 without change. 2.2. Risks and Assumptions: Firefox 3 depends on Cairo for rendering, while Cairo leverages some features of X to improve rendering performance. Xsun on Sparc, and the X server used by Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS) are lacking some features, such as Xrender. This causes Firefox 3 to have lower performance on those platform. We have been working to improve the performance of Firefox 3 without Xrender, which helps Firefox 3's performance on both of Xsun and SRSS Xserver. 4. Technical Description: 4.1. Details: Firefox 3 is easier to use. Improved zooming feature supports full page zoom, scaling the layout, text and images. Firefox 3's default icons, buttons, and menu styles now use the native GTK theme. Firefox 3 improves user experience with downloading. A new Download Manager makes it easier to locate downloaded files and displays where a file came from. Downloading is now resumable after restarting the browser or resetting your network connection. A new Applications preferences pane provides a better UI for configuring handlers for various file types and protocol schemes. Firefox 3 improves the location bar, auto-completion, and bookmarks. User can type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results. A star button has been added to the location bar to let user quickly add bookmarks with a single click. User can associate keywords with bookmarks to sort them by topic. Smart Bookmarks Folder allow quickly accessing recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as more frequently visited pages. Firefox 3 is a more secure browser. Firefox 3 hides pages suspected as a phishing page, while user always has choice to view the suspected pages anyway; checks add-on and plugin versions and disables older, insecure versions of add-on and plugin automatically; and displays more clear and strict error pages when an invalid SSL certificate is received. Firefox 3 is also an improved platform for developers. New graphics and text rendering architectures in Gecko 1.9 provides rendering improvements in CSS, SVG as well as improved display of fonts with ligatures and complex scripts. HTML forms on Web pages now have a native look and feel on GNOME desktop. Firefox 3 provides offline support, which enables web applications to provide offline functionality. Firefox 3 has better performance. Major architectural changes (such as the move to Cairo and a rewrite to how reflowing a page layout works) results in speed increases. Memory usage is also improved in Firefox 3. A lot of memory leaks have been fixed, and a new XPCOM cycle collector completely eliminates many more. Firefox 3 is accessible and can meet Section 508 with exception. A lot of work on accessibility has been integrated into Gecko 1.9, which makes Firefox 3's accessibility greatly improved compared with Firefox 2. 4.5.

The versions of NSS/NSPR and Cairo in Nevada is lower than required. We will deliver private ones for now, and remove the private ones after those libraries get upgraded in Nevada. 4.10. Packaging & Delivery The project will be delivering the following packages: SUNWfirefox Firefox Web Browser SUNWfirefox-devel Firefox Web Browser developer package SUNWfirefox-apoc-adapter Firefox apoc adapter 4.11. Security Impact: Firefox uses NSS as the crypto library. Firefox includes a feature that allows user to save passwords. The saved passwords are stored in an encrypted file in user's profile folder. The saved passwords can be protected by using a Master Password. Firefox does not allow a website to download onto, install onto, or execute code on a user's computer without the user's agreement. Community has fixed and will fix security bugs as soon as possible. New minor version will be released as needed. 4.12. Dependencies: Firefox3.0 depends on system NSS/NSPR, SQLite, and Cairo. 5.

Same comment as always on these plugin dirs, the one in ~/.mozilla/firefox//plugins/ really really really needs to support a home dir that is used from multiple different architectures and operating systems (eg Solaris x86 & sparc, Linux x86 32 & 64). I'm not expecting this project team to fix this but documenting the $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH as Uncommitted as a workaround would be fine; plus please push this requirement up stream. > Firefox does not allow a website to download onto, install onto, or > execute code on a user's computer without the user's agreement. That statement is clearly incorrect. Firefox does cause code to be executed without my explicit agreement - if I go to a page with a Java applet on it Firefox will execute java to run that code it helped download. It will also download javascript code and execute that with out my agreement (unless I explicitly turn off javascript). -- Darren J Moffat From sacadmin Wed Feb 27 23:26:05 2008 Received: from dm-sfbay-01.sfbay.sun.com (dm-sfbay-01 [129.145.155.118]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m1S7Q49I023064 for ; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:26:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from sineb-mail-2.sun.com ([192.18.19.7]) by dm-sfbay-01.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m1S7Q32V018453 for ; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:26:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from fe-apac-05.sun.com (fe-apac-05.sun.com [192.18.19.176] (may be forged)) by sineb-mail-2.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m1S7QCJL022027 for ; Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:26:12 GMT Received: from conversion-daemon.mail-apac.sun.com by mail-apac.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) id <0JWX00J01TULM200@mail-apac.sun.com> (original mail from Evan.Yan@Sun.COM) for LSARC@sac.sfbay.sun.com; Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:25:58 +0800 (SGT) Received: from [129.158.217.175] by mail-apac.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) with ESMTPSA id <0JWX0065WTZ9KDBT@mail-apac.sun.com>; Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:25:58 +0800 (SGT) Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:32:12 +0800 From: Evan Yan Subject: Re: Firefox 3 for Solaris Nevada [LSARC/2008/158 FastTrack timeout 03/04/2008] In-reply-to: <47C540C3.4020606@Sun.COM> Sender: Evan.Yan@sun.com To: Darren J Moffat Cc: John Fischer , LSARC@sac.sfbay.sun.com, Brian.Lu@sun.com Message-id: <47C6637C.1050204@Sun.COM> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT References: <200802262335.m1QNZfbW034931@sr1-umpk-34.sfbay.sun.com> <47C540C3.4020606@Sun.COM> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.5pre (X11/20070628) Status: RO Content-Length: 932 Hi Darren, Darren J Moffat wrote: > John Fischer wrote: > >> Firefox does not allow a website to download onto, install onto, or >> execute code on a user's computer without the user's agreement. >> > > That statement is clearly incorrect.

For javaScript, I think it's more like a part of web page, as html. And as you mentioned user can disable JavaScript. The "code" here mainly refers to shell script and binary, which could be harmful to user's computer. Thanks for pointing this out.

Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Firefox 3 for Solaris Nevada 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Evan Yan Sponsor: John Fischer 1.3. Date of This Document: Jan 21st, 2008 2. Project Summary 2.1. Project Description: Firefox 3 is based on the new Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform. Gecko 1.9 includes some major re-architecting for performance, stability, correctness, code simplification, and sustainability. Firefox 3 provides backwards compatibility for user profiles. User profiles of Firefox 2 can be used by Firefox 3 without change. Add-ons installed for Firefox 2 may not work on Firefox 3, until they get upgraded to support Firefox 3. 2.2. Risks and Assumptions: Firefox 3 depends on Cairo for rendering, while Cairo leverages some features of X to improve rendering performance. Xsun on Sparc, and the X server used by Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS) are lacking some features, such as Xrender. This causes Firefox 3 to have lower performance on those platform. We have been working to improve the performance of Firefox 3 without Xrender, which helps Firefox 3's performance on both of Xsun and SRSS Xserver. 4. Technical Description: 4.1. Details: Firefox 3 is easier to use. Improved zooming feature supports full page zoom, scaling the layout, text and images. Firefox 3's default icons, buttons, and menu styles now use the native GTK theme. Firefox 3 improves user experience with downloading. A new Download Manager makes it easier to locate downloaded files and displays where a file came from. Downloading is now resumable after restarting the browser or resetting your network connection. A new Applications preferences pane provides a better UI for configuring handlers for various file types and protocol schemes. Firefox 3 improves the location bar, auto-completion, and bookmarks. User can type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results. A star button has been added to the location bar to let user quickly add bookmarks with a single click. User can associate keywords with bookmarks to sort them by topic. Smart Bookmarks Folder allow quickly accessing recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as more frequently visited pages. Firefox 3 is a more secure browser. Firefox 3 hides pages suspected as a phishing page, while user always has choice to view the suspected pages anyway; checks add-on and plugin versions and disables older, insecure versions of add-on and plugin automatically; and displays more clear and strict error pages when an invalid SSL certificate is received. Firefox 3 is also an improved platform for developers. New graphics and text rendering architectures in Gecko 1.9 provides rendering improvements in CSS, SVG as well as improved display of fonts with ligatures and complex scripts. HTML forms on Web pages now have a native look and feel on GNOME desktop. Firefox 3 provides offline support, which enables web applications to provide offline functionality. Firefox 3 has better performance. Major architectural changes (such as the move to Cairo and a rewrite to how reflowing a page layout works) results in speed increases. Memory usage is also improved in Firefox 3. A lot of memory leaks have been fixed, and a new XPCOM cycle collector completely eliminates many more. Firefox 3 is accessible and can meet Section 508 with exception. A lot of work on accessibility has been integrated into Gecko 1.9, which makes Firefox 3's accessibility greatly improved compared with Firefox 2. 4.5.

Firefox 3 also depends on a SFW component FreeType, which is being moved from /usr/sfw to /usr via LSARC/2007/662. The versions of NSS/NSPR and Cairo in Nevada is lower than required. We will deliver private ones for now, and remove the private ones after those libraries get upgraded in Nevada. 4.10. Packaging & Delivery The project will be delivering the following packages: SUNWfirefox Firefox Web Browser SUNWfirefox-devel Firefox Web Browser developer package SUNWfirefox-apoc-adapter Firefox apoc adapter 4.11. Security Impact: Firefox uses NSS as the crypto library. Firefox includes a feature that allows user to save passwords. The saved passwords are stored in an encrypted file in user's profile folder. The saved passwords can be protected by using a Master Password.
