[Mozilla Enterprise] Profile Update Intervals

[Jason Jackson]

That’s an excellent guide, but the only one that I noticed mentioning the trigger (i.e. first interval) is the OpenH264 codec.

I realized I could test this myself by opening Firefox with a blank home page on a new profile without an internet connection, then again with an internet connection, and comparing the profile folders.  This is my unverified observations:


·         The “safebrowsing” folder was the only significant amount of data downloaded immediately.  It was several files totalling 4.7MB and happens within seconds of opening Firefox for the first time.

·         After about 10 minutes the blocklists were downloaded, and total less than a megabyte.

·         After about 20 minutes the GMPs (WebRTC and Widevine) showed up, and are several megabytes.

·         There were other tiny things such as certs, but these are in the kilobytes.

·         The default new tab page will trigger downloads too, but we will be stripping it down to just “top sites” anyway.

Does anyone know how to delay safebrowsing for a few minutes?

It’d be nice if there was a guide for all these hidden updates and telemetry.
