Correct, this change will apply everywhere. Normally, when a script calls setTimeout, we enforce a minimum value on the timeout time. For foreground tabs this is 4ms and for background tabs it's 1000ms. The change being discussed will also factor in whether the script calling setTimeout is a tracking script (which is defined as a <script> whose src URL is on the TP list). So now the minimum values will be: foreground tabs: tracking script: 4ms not tracking script: 4ms background tabs: tracking script: 10000ms not tracking script: 1000ms In addition, we don't consider something a tracking script for the first 30s after a page load. (I hope everything I've said is correct. I've been following the change but I had nothing to do with the code.) Hope this helps, Bill _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
