Details |
Environment variables such as MOZ_HEADLESS, MOZ_LOG, MOZ_APP_RESTART, XRE_PROFILE_PATH, XRE_PROFILE_LOCAL_PATH, XRE_PROFILE_NAME, MOZ_MARIONETTE et al. affect how Firefox behaves. Some of these variables can change the behaviour of Firefox substantially, which for example is the case with MOZ_MARIONETTE.
As part of the security follow-up from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=marionette-security and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1355888#c87, it was discovered that whilst many other useful things are listed in about:support, such as ‘Important Modified Preferences’, we don’t list what environment variables the browser is paying attention to anywhere.
As any environment variables may, by indirection, affect the behaviour of Firefox (e.g. DISPLAY or GDK settings), maybe listing everything from env(1) would be a good idea.
