Is Google Safe Browsing broken in the latest Firefox packages?
I enabled the function, but when I got to https://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/ I get no alert.

Did I do something wrong?

Edit: same problem with www-client/chromium-69.0.3497.100. This only works with www-client/google-chrome-70.0.3538.67 or www-client/firefox-bin-62.0.3.
i.e. Safe Browsing works with the binary packages, but not with the source packages.

Do you have any alert? Safe browsing should block these pages.

vm666,

I see the same behaviour as you. Google Safe Browsing is not working in Firefox 62.0.3 in my Gentoo installation.

I did another test.
Safe Browsing works with firefox-bin too. Said in another way, Safe Browsing works with the binary packages but appears to be disabled with Chromium or Firefox recompiled from the source packages.
Is this a licence problem?

Wouldn't it be a problem with GOOGLE_API_KEY?

If yes, where and how do I set this?

vm666,

Have a look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Safe_Browsing

If you enter about:config in the Firefox address bar then safebrowsing in the search bar, you will see a list of Preferences that you can alter. Compare the Preferences in www-client/firefox-bin with the Preferences in www-client/firefox and you will likely find that some of the Safe Browsing preferences have been disabled in www-client/firefox. You could enable them to see if the behaviour becomes the same as with www-client/google-chrome and www-client/firefox-bin.

I already did that, I did not notice any difference. is there any way to export all this into text files to be able to run a diff on them?

No. Everything is enabled.

Not that I'm aware of. But I believe you can find if any have been changed from the defaults by using the following command:

Code:
$ grep safebrowsing ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default*/prefs.js

Actually, when I used the same profile first with firefox and then with firefox-bin, I got the same issue: safebrowsing KO with firefox, OK with the binary package. My hypothesis about the API Key is probably wrong (the SafeBrowsing blacklist was correctly downloaded and could be used by firefox-bin) .

I'm recompiling the source package with different USE flags...

I've had a look at the www-client/firefox-62.0.3 ebuild and it appears to be missing the mozconfig option for Safe Browsing. I think the ebuild would need a line like the following in order to build Firefox for Safe Browsing:

Code:
mozconfig_annotate "Enable Safe Browsing" --enable-safe-browsing

or:
Code:
mozconfig_use_enable safe-browsing


I could be wrong, though, as I don't know if Mozilla has already included that option in the configuration files for Firefox. Anyway, you could try copying the ebuild and files to a local overlay on your machine, adding the above line to the ebuild, creating a new manifest and merging the package.


EDIT: Well, I tried the above myself, but couldn't get Firefox to build; an error message told me that the configure option is unknown:

Code:
mozbuild.configure.options.InvalidOptionError: Unknown option: --enable-safe-browsing


So I assume --enable-safe-browsing is no longer a valid option for Firefox 62.0.3. Actually, Safe Browsing works in Firefox 62.0.3 on my family's PC running Lubuntu, and about:buildconfig shows me that Firefox in Lubuntu does not have --enable-safe-browsing configured:

Code:

On my main laptop running Gentoo amd64, Firefox 62.0.3 about:buildconfig does not show any --enable-safe-browsing option either, but, unlike Firefox 62.0.3 in Lubuntu, Safe Browsing does not work.

I notice that Firefox 62.0.3 in Lubuntu -- where Safe Browsing works -- has the following under Firefox's 'Menu' > 'Preferences' > 'Privacy & Security':

Quote:

whereas Firefox 62.0.3 in Gentoo has the following:

   Allow Firefox to install and run studies View Firefox studies
Data reporting is disabled for this build configuration

(The first option is greyed out.)

So I assume those options have been patched out by Gentoo developers. However, I have looked at the firefox-62.0.3 ebuild and the associated patch files:

Code:
$ grep -i patch /usr/portage/www-client/firefox/firefox-62.0.3.ebuild
# Patch version
PATCH="${PN}-62.0-patches-01"
PATCH_URIS=( https://dev.gentoo.org/~{anarchy,axs,polynomial-c}/mozilla/patchsets/${PATCH}.tar.xz )
        ${PATCH_URIS[@]}"
        eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-60.0-blessings-TERM.patch # 654316
        eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-60.0-do-not-force-lld.patch
        eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-60.0-sandbox-lto.patch # 666580
        eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-60.0-missing-errno_h-in-SandboxOpenedFiles_cpp.patch
        # Allow user to apply any additional patches without modifing ebuild
$

Code:
$ ls /usr/portage/www-client/firefox/files/
bug_1461221.patch                    firefox-60.0-do-not-force-lld.patch                           firefox-60.0-sandbox-lto.patch            gentoo-default-prefs.js-2
firefox-52.9.0-blessings-TERM.patch  firefox-60.0-missing-errno_h-in-SandboxOpenedFiles_cpp.patch  firefox-60.0-update-cc-to-honor-CC.patch  gentoo-hwaccel-prefs.js-1
firefox-60.0-blessings-TERM.patch    firefox-60.0-rust-1.29-comp.patch                             gentoo-default-prefs.js-1                 icon
$


and I cannot see which variables and/or options and/or Preferences (gentoo-default-prefs.js-{1,2,3}) are used to disable Safe Browsing.

The Gentoo Wiki article on Firefox still mentions an old patch for Firefox 49.0 containing the variable MOZ_SAFE_BROWSING. However, I could not find MOZ_SAFE_BROWSING in the Firefox 62.0.3 source code, but a variable MOZ_SAFEBROWSING is mentioned in the Firefox 62.0.3 source code:

Code:
$ grep -r MOZ_SAFE-BROWSING firefox-62.0.3/*
$ grep -r MOZ_SAFEBROWSING firefox-62.0.3/*
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/moz.build:    DEFINES['MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES'] = True
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/ProtocolParser.cpp:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/ProtocolParser.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/ProtocolParser.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/ProtocolParser.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/nsUrlClassifierDBService.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/Classifier.cpp:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES

firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/nsUrlClassifierDBService.cpp:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/nsUrlClassifierDBService.cpp:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/tests/gtest/moz.build:# Required to have the same MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/tests/gtest/moz.build:    DEFINES['MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES'] = True
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/Classifier.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
firefox-62.0.3/toolkit/components/url-classifier/Classifier.h:#ifdef MOZ_SAFEBROWSING_DUMP_FAILED_UPDATES
$


So I created a patch file firefox-62.0.3-safe-browsing.patch for an ebuild firefox-62.0.3-r1.ebuild in my local overlay. I set both MOZ_SAFE_BROWSING and MOZ_SAFEBROWSING in order to try and hit the correct variable required to enable Google Safe Browsing:

Code:
$ diff /usr/local/portage/www-client/firefox/firefox-62.0.3-r1.ebuild /usr/portage/www-client/firefox/firefox-62.0.3.ebuild
191d190
<       eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-62.0.3-safe-browsing.patch
$ cat /usr/local/portage/www-client/firefox/files/firefox-62.0.3-safe-browsing.patch
diff -crB a/browser/confvars.sh b/browser/confvars.sh

$


I generated a manifest and merged firefox-62.0.3-r1::local_overlay. But it made no difference.

So then I created a patch file firefox-62.0.3-safe-browsing-v2.patch for an ebuild firefox-62.0.3-r2.ebuild in my local overlay. I set MOZ_SAFE_BROWSING, MOZ_SAFEBROWSING, MOZ_DATA_REPORTING, MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING, MOZ_CRASHREPORTER and MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT in order to try and hit the correct variable required to enable Google Safe Browsing:

Code:

I generated a manifest and merged firefox-62.0.3-r2::local_overlay. That changed the Firefox menu, which now shows:

('Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf' is not shown, though.)

I also used about:config to enable any disabled telemetry preferences. But the end result was the same, i.e. Safe Browsing does not work. Really annoying!
