"firedragon.overrides.cfg" doesn't work anymore

Yes, and I’ve just tried it again to be sure. It stores a cookie even if the overrides files says not to.

Worse, it stores youtube cookies although I’ve blacklisted youtube in the parameter panel (in the “cookies and data sites” part).

It’s a pity, I really enjoy firedragon, but want to be able to block what I want to.

Ok, can confirm this issue. Can also confirm that it does not seem to appear on Firefox & Floorp. Probably some incompatibility with some other settings we set. I’m looking into it.

Yeah, thanks !! Waiting for news, will clean these cookies manually for the moment.

If firedragon.overrides.cfg is used, no matter what happens inside firedragon.cfg should not matter on the final result, correct?

Can you please try with the following additions to firedragon.overrides.cfg?

defaultPref("cookiebanners.service.mode", 0);
defaultPref("cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing", 0);

Will make more tests tomorrow, but made a quick try and it seems to work fine. Thanks a lot !

Btw… the folder .firedragon which contains the file firedragon.overrides.cfg, is not located in .config, but directly in the user directory.

Yeah, I know where my .firedragon is located. But I’ve tried to create a file in the location mentioned in the wiki just to be sure.

Yes, the location mentioned in the wiki was wrong. The wiki has been updated to reflect the correct path.

It might help if theres a form post on this change a49ac1c6ac0f7d6e4cf908e74af1c04fbb687af2 to 5fb5e9ac57cf99c69f3278a016efbc304565033b · Garuda Linux 🦅 / FireDragon / Builder · GitLab as it breaks sites like garurda forums an others if users had it set before this update.

It shouldn’t sice there is an automatic migration. Could you plesse explain, what you had set and why this breaks it.

I previously had strict set. But after updating today, I could no longer pull up the forum. And nix forum would not let me login even after clearing cookies.
I do not believe I had anything else too crazy set other than the DNS settings.

But I did see today in the telegram chat somebody asking about logins as well. I fixed mine by just changing it to custom and changing the cookies setting down one level from the strictest.
I’m not sure if that helps or not.

How did you previously set strict? Before this you could not change this setting? Do you have a firedragon.overrides.cfg?

Can you check the pref firedragon.cfg.migration.contentBlockingCategoryStrict in about:config, is it set to true?

In my tests, it always correctly migrates the content blocking category from “Strict” (previously being forced) to “Standard” (which is the default, but which is now equivalent to the “Strict” mode of regular Firefox/Floorp).

my override only has these two simple lines in it.

lockPref("identity.sync.tokenserver.uri", "https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5");

lockPref("widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker", 1);

As for the migration.


I have had firedragon for ages though and I should state my files came over from the arch side at least the profiles. Since I’m using Garuda nixos sybsytems. So some things might be different on that account? It’s at ver. 11.23…0-2. Im not sure about other users though.

Oh, I see the chaotic-nyx is still on 11.23.0-2, that version is bugged. The fix/migration is available in >= v11.23.0-3.

I will see about getting it updated as quick as possible.
