[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#771242: unblock: greasemonkey/2.2-2

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package greasemonkey.

Version 2.2-2 fixes #771110 -- xul-ext-greasemonkey: privacy breach: 
phones home after first installation.

xul-ext-greasemonkey contains the Greasemonkey mozilla addon. The 
addon code loads 
http://www.greasespot.net/p/welcome.html?utm_source=xpi&utm_medium=xpi&utm_campaign=welcome&utm_content=2.2 
the first time the browser is started with the addon installed and 
this is a privacy breach.

The information on the page is useful, but it is also available from the 
toolbar button menu, and that toolbar button is added automatically, so there 
is no usability regression.

The patch just removes the code that loads that page. I have installed 
the resulting package with a new browser profile and there is no home 
phone call. No ill effects either -- the "submit statistics" question 
is asked as usual, the toolbar button is added to the toolbar.

Attached is the quilt patch that is added, as well as the full debdiff 
against version 2.2-1 currently in Jessie.

unblock greasemonkey/2.2-2


Thanks,
