Roundtable

Tanvi

  • Working on list of and tests for protocol handlers that should be accepted on HTTPS pages (things that don't cause mix content warnings/blockings)

dkeeler

  • c2p - worked out what we're gonna block, couple of follow ups, but nothing huge
    • bug for permissions thing (bug 746374)
    • Info page on why each thing is blocked -- already info in the question mark in c2p UI
    • For certain plugin overlays (e.g. blocked, unsupported, etc.), there is a question mark you can click - we just have to hook this up to c2p overlays)
  • next up: working on certificate blocklisting

ddahl

  • b2g permissions stuff landed
  • working on contributors to help implement web crypto stuff in gecko
  • making progress on getRandomValues()
  • leading session segment at TPAC about new ideas for web crypto API stuff

lucas

  • nothing super exciting

kathleen

sid

  • talks in Indiana.
    • CSP to academic researchers
    • Privacy/Data collection and what tools you can use to protect yourself.

bsmith

  • while working on refactoring code, wanted to break APIs and checked to see what types of extensions use the APIs.
  • Things add-ons are doing to hook in the cert validation/exception APIs:
    • rewriting the cert error page (by detecting if the current URL is the cert error page)
    • nsICertOverrideService -- adding exceptions
      • used bluntly to solve a problem with a cert and not always appropriately
      • many add permanent exceptions, but these persist after the add-on is removed which is weird
