The autoplay setting was binary and its default blocked all media,
including muted video, leaving sites that rely on muted autoplay
visibly broken. Replace it with a tri-state user-agent autoplay
policy (allow audio and video, block audio, or block audio and video)
defaulting to allowing only inaudible media to autoplay.
This is enforced through the media element's "allowed to play" check,
so unmuting a muted autoplay or calling `play()` cannot slip audio
past the policy; audible playback is permitted once the document has
been activated by the user. The policy lives in a dedicated
AutoplaySettings consulted from HTMLMediaElement instead of the
Permissions Policy "allowed to use feature" check it was previously
conflated with.
In 11b053b154 I accidentally changed the
behaviour of CookieJar::set_cookie() to not match what the RFC
requires, particularly when dealing with too-long paths. This commit
restores the original behaviour, now that the validation required by
DevTools happens elsewhere, before set_cookie() is called.
Canvas and display list rasterization now run in the Compositor
process, so WebContent no longer needs its own Skia GPU backend. Drop
the WebContent --force-cpu-painting option and stop forwarding it when
launching the renderer. The flag remains available for Compositor.
WebWorker control connections can transfer handles from the browser
process to the worker process, including RequestServer and ImageDecoder
transport handles sent during worker startup. On Windows, serializing
those attachments needs the destination process id so DuplicateHandle
and WSADuplicateSocketW can target the peer process. WebWorker was
excluded from the generic helper-process InitTransport handshake,
leaving the transport without a peer pid before any attachment-bearing
message was sent.
Add InitTransport to the WebWorker server endpoint, implement the
server-side peer pid exchange, expose the message type through
WebWorkerClient, and let the shared helper launcher perform the
handshake for workers as it does for other Windows IPC clients.
Previously, the "View History" action always opened a new tab. We now
switch to an existing `about:history` tab when one exists in the active
window and fall back to opening a new tab otherwise.
Problem: While a document was concurrently loaded, a burst of sync same-
document history navigations (e.g. a pushState flood) could spin the UI
process at full CPU — and on slow/Sanitizer builds, intermittently time
out other tests (since one WebContent process is reused across tests).
Cause: The UI process keeps an authoritative session-history mirror, and
merges each WebContent snapshot into it. find_merge_anchor compares each
local entry against each incoming one. Every URL comparison serializes
both URLs. When a snapshot briefly diverges from the mirror, the anchor
is no longer near the end. So, the search degraded to a deep quadratic
walk — with a string serialization per-comparison. A flood compounded
that from both ends: Every pushState added a top-level entry — driving
the count each walk must cover into the hundreds — and also triggered a
history update. So, the merge ran again for every one of them.
Fix: Index the incoming entries by serialized URL once — keyed as URL
equality compares (full serialization, fragment included). So, the URL-
keyed anchor searches are linear, not quadratic.
Apply helper process sandboxing by default and replace the old
--enable-sandbox switch with --disable-sandbox. Propagate the opt-out
from Ladybird, test-web, and WebDriver to WebContent, WebWorker,
RequestServer, ImageDecoder, and Compositor.
Show native history menus when users right-click or long-press
the back and forward toolbar buttons. Populate entries from the
UI-process session history mirror, using saved history titles and
favicons when available and falling back to the URL and globe icon
otherwise.
Share the Qt base64 PNG icon helper so bookmark menus and navigation
history menus render stored favicons consistently.
Keep UI process session history authoritative across overlapping
fallback loads and traversals. WebContent can finish a superseded
history load with a live document matching the UI seed URL while its
local step, document state id, and Navigation API keys still describe
a temporary partial list.
Reconstruct the current entry around the UI-owned list in that case.
This avoids making the UI process adopt WebContent's incomplete
snapshot.
Track UI-started fallback loads by URL so unrelated navigations cannot
consume the pending seed state. Resolve deferred WebDriver completions
through the view registry so callbacks queued before a process swap do
not touch a destroyed view.
Add WebDriver coverage that waits for explicit UI/WebContent history
convergence after the relevant document events. The waits poll
observable history state instead of depending on timing.
Use IncludeStarRule::Yes for cookie public-suffix checks so domains not
explicitly listed in the PSL still get treated as public suffixes via
the implicit * rule. This fixes accepting cookies for bare TLD-like
domains.
Ever since PublicSuffixData was created, it was using "no star rule"
matching, which is what is needed for the address bar to distinguish
between a domain and a search. URL::Host on the other hand requires
the fallback star rule. Which rule is needed depends on the use case
of the PSL. Support both use cases by a flag in PublicSuffixData.
Apply pinch zoom deltas to the compositor's visual viewport transform
so the currently presented display list can respond without waiting for
the WebContent main thread. Keep the normal WebContent pinch event path
so the real VisualViewport state and DOM-visible events catch up after.
Only take the compositor path when async scrolling is enabled and there
are no blocking wheel listeners, since pinch zoom dispatches a synthetic
wheel event that script may cancel. Coalesce queued pinch events in
WebContent so main-thread catch-up can adopt multiple gesture deltas
together.
Use the compositor visual viewport transform for wheel hit testing and
consume wheel deltas as visual viewport pan while zoomed. Scale the
handoff to layout viewport scrolling by the inverse visual viewport
scale, so touchpad momentum does not jump when the visual viewport hits
an edge.
Same-document navigations now commit synchronously in WebContent, while
the UI process mirror learns about them over asynchronous IPC. A stale
UI seed could be accepted back into a live non-initial document and
overwrite its latest entry, making queued traversals target unreachable
entries.
Share descriptor comparison helpers between LibWeb and LibWebView.
Reject stale top-level seeds against the active document latest entry,
and let the UI process adopt WebContent current snapshots when a seed is
rejected. Test-only session history dumps now first send WebContent
current state synchronously, so dumps observe the converged state.
Allow post-load UI seeds to carry UI-owned nested histories that the
freshly loaded top-level document has not reconstructed yet. Add unit
coverage for matching those seeds while still checking top-level state.
Complete pending WebDriver navigation waits when WebContent confirms
that a same-document history traversal step was applied. These
traversals do not always produce a load event, and waiting only for a
later session history snapshot could let the WebDriver command return
before the UI had observed the applied step.
This keeps the WebDriver session history test from racing into later
commands while a previous same-document traversal is still settling.
Use the LibWebView history mirror to preserve traversable session
history across WebContent process swaps. WebContent reports snapshots to
the UI process, and new renderers can be seeded from the mirror.
Browser back and forward now resolve through the UI-owned used history
steps. WebContent still runs the spec traversal path when the current
renderer has enough matching state to do so.
Handle canceled and no-op UI navigations without leaving speculative
history entries or pending WebDriver waits behind. Preserve traversal
precheck state across synchronous IPC shutdown, and avoid overwriting a
restored target entry's persisted scroll state before the document has
adopted that entry.
Add a browser-side model for top-level history entries and history step
coordinates. This gives the UI process a structure to mirror WebContent
history across process swaps.
Add debug dumping support alongside the model so traversal state can be
inspected while working on back and forward behavior.
Add Internals.deleteAllCookies(), backed by an async WebContent to
browser request and ack pair. CookieJar can now clear transient and
persisted cookies. Note that we only delete all cookies associated
with the current URL so that tests are able to run in parallel with
one another without impacting shared cookie state.
Firefox sends the same storage actor mutation requests for Web Storage
that it uses for cookies. Handle addItem, editItem, removeItem, and
removeAll for localStorage and sessionStorage actors.
Apply the changes through the browser-process storage jar and emit the
matching store update packets so the Storage panel stays current after a
DevTools-initiated edit.
Firefox keeps the Storage panel current by sending store update packets
when localStorage or sessionStorage changes. Forward successful Web
Storage mutations to the storage actors and emit the matching update or
clear packet.
Use listener IDs for storage updates so the local and session storage
actors can subscribe independently.
Firefox exposes localStorage and sessionStorage through the same
storage actor protocol used by cookies. Add matching resources for the
current tab so the Storage panel can list key/value pairs.
Read the values through WebContent rather than directly from the
browser process. Session storage lives in LibWeb, and using the same
path for both stores keeps the actor independent of the backing store.
DevTools needs to edit and delete cookies from the browser process. Add
a small mutation surface to CookieJar and expose it through the DevTools
delegate while preserving the existing cookie notification path.
Firefox keeps the Storage table current through storesUpdate messages
from the storage actor. Forward browser cookie change notifications to
the cookies actor and classify visible rows against a fresh cookie
snapshot.
The existing cookie-change notifications report cookies that are
relevant to a specific page, whereas DevTools wants all cookies
relevant for a host, so we end up having to provide two different sets
of cookies to `notify_cookies_changed()`.
Firefox asks the cookies actor for rows after selecting a Storage host.
Read the browser cookie jar through the DevTools delegate and serialize
matching cookies with the fields Firefox expects.
This keeps mutation support disabled, but makes existing cookies visible
in the Storage panel.
Cookie listeners may query the jar while handling a notification. For
example, DevTools does this when the Storage panel computes whether a
cookie was added, changed, or deleted.
Insert the cookie before sending the notification, so that listeners see
the new state, not the old one.
This currently just contains a menu item to open about:history. But in
the future, we can add a list of recently closed / recently visited
pages as well.
This adds a WebUI to view the local browsing history, with controls to
search and delete entries. The APIs used to search history are paginated
to prevent excessive query sizes.
Move the image loader sources and decoder-only dependencies from LibGfx
into a new LibImageDecoders library. This keeps the APNG-enabled PNG
loader out of processes that only need core graphics and image writers.
Link the ImageDecoder service, direct decoder tests, fuzzers, test-web,
and the image utility against LibImageDecoders where they still decode
images in-process.
Replace the generated public suffix table and custom matcher with a
direct LibURL PublicSuffixData implementation backed by libpsl. This
drops our PSL download/generator path and uses the same library already
used by libcurl.
Performance is comparable before and after, while LibURL binary size
is smaller.
Add opt-in Linux renderer sandbox support to WebContent and WebWorker.
Ladybird and test-web pass --enable-sandbox through when requested, and
the renderer services only install the shared sandbox when that flag is
present.
Share one renderer policy for both services. Allow resource, font,
shared library, WebGL, Wasm, audio, and local IPC paths needed at
runtime, while keeping renderer filesystem writes mediated by Landlock.
Allow Mesa and PulseAudio to probe their standard runtime state without
escaping the renderer sandbox. Return EPERM for scheduler and priority
changes so library initialization can fall back instead of crashing on a
seccomp violation.
Add opt-in Linux sandbox support to RequestServer. Ladybird and test-web
pass --enable-sandbox through when requested, and RequestServer only
installs the sandbox when that flag is present.
Allow reads for resolver and TLS configuration, plus the configured
certificate locations. Create and allow writes to the Ladybird cache
root, so libcurl alt-svc files and HTTP disk-cache files stay inside the
single writable tree. Also allow the systemd-resolved runtime directory
when present, since /etc/resolv.conf can point there.
Extend LibSandbox with owned Landlock paths, an add-if-exists helper,
read/write Landlock access, and reusable seccomp groups for filesystem
writes and network syscalls. Include POSIX file locks and socket byte
count ioctls needed by libc resolver and cache paths. Reuse the new
Landlock helper from Compositor as well, and allow its Mesa shader cache
directory so GPU startup can populate shader cache files after
sandboxing.
Add opt-in Linux sandbox support to Compositor. Ladybird and test-web
pass --enable-sandbox through when requested, and Compositor only
installs the sandbox when that flag is present.
Install the sandbox after Compositor has initialized platform, font, and
GPU state so startup probing can complete before filesystem access is
removed. Compose the runtime seccomp policy from LibSandbox building
blocks and add an explicit GPU device operations group for driver IPC
through already-open descriptors.
Add --enable-sandbox to Ladybird and test-web, pass it through to
ImageDecoder, and make ImageDecoder install its Linux sandbox only when
the option is present.
The Linux implementation enables no_new_privs, configures glibc malloc
to avoid late CPU-count probes in helper threads, applies an empty
Landlock ruleset when available, and installs a seccomp filter for the
helper IPC, shared memory, threading, and decoding syscalls.
Deny plain read-only filesystem probes without granting file access, so
common runtime feature checks can observe the sandbox instead of
terminating the helper during normal decoding.
Remove internals.loadTestVariants and the IPC forwarding that reported
variant metadata back to WebView. test-web now identifies WPT variants
during collection, so no loaded document needs to expose this test-only
hook.
Move the registrable-domain helper from URL into PublicSuffixData and
name it find_matching_registrable_domain().
This keeps it alongside find_matching_public_suffix(), making it clear
that both APIs only return results matched from the PSL data, while
Host::public_suffix() implements the URL Standard fallback to the
top-level domain.
Rename PublicSuffixData's raw lookup helpers to make it clear that they
only return public suffixes matched from the PSL data.
This distinguishes them from Host::public_suffix(), which implements the
URL Standard definition and falls back to the top-level domain when no
PSL rule matches.
We need both layers because address bar handling needs the raw lookup to
decide whether input should be treated as a URL or as a search.
LibSyntax is the only remaining user of UTF-32 in the code base. Let's
use UTF-8 here.
Bonus: The tests added here for non-ASCII sources actually used to
crash the old UTF-32 implementation.
Add an explicit initializer for process-lifetime event loops and use it
for browser, helper service, and utility main loops. This preserves weak
event loop references for cross-thread users while making main thread
loop lifetime independent of normal program teardown.
Collect the style rules that apply to an inspected element and expose
them through the existing DOM node inspection path. This gives Firefox's
Rules panel real rule forms instead of the previous empty getApplied
response.
Extend the existing DOM node inspection request with an options payload
and carry it through the browser process, WebView, IPC, and WebContent.
This lets later DevTools requests forward Firefox's top-level flags
without changing any inspected-node behavior yet.
Enable -Wexit-time-destructors for all in-tree library targets and
update process-lifetime library statics so they no longer register
exit-time destructors. Long-lived caches, lookup tables, singleton
registries, and generated constants now use NeverDestroyed or leaked
references where the data is intended to live until process exit.
Update LibWeb, LibLine, and the binding generators so regenerated
sources follow the same rule instead of reintroducing destructed
statics.
We currently use LibWebView's Application as the entry point to learn
about the bookmarks bar being shown/hidden, and propagate that through
virtual methods. At the time this was added, AppKit's Tab window and
Qt's BrowserWindow did not have a settings observer. They do now, so
let's skip a couple of middle-men.
For AppKit, we change the settings observer to just (weakly) store the
Tab instance so that we don't have to add callback functions for each
setting.
