No one anywhere knows what it does nor is there documentation

[tz]

I asked. Over several months. Got nothing.

I just want a manifest of the features it adds and the areas of firefox that are affected.

Not the vague "adds functionality".

The functions and features should be ENUMERATED and DETAILED.

Hi tz!

I am going to start to work on this problem or at least a part of that. Is it enough for you if we will have a better package description which details the new features added by ubufox to the firefox? In this case, I will mark this bug as duplication of 123713 and finish the work there. On the other hand, if you know more places where a better explanation should be down for ubufox, please let me know.

As long as "new features" means all features - everything that behaves differently or looks different, itemized.

For example, it appears to have some link into package management for plugins. Something like
"When a missing plugin is detected, it runs ??? to try to install a package for the missing plugin."

A bullet list for each added feature with that level of detail would be sufficient.

If it does something with fonts, what does it change or add (from the base)?

[kecsap (csaba-kertesz)]

Yes, exactly, that is it what I will incorporate into the package description, an itemized list of the features which are added/modified by the ubufox package.

I mark this bug as duplicate and add your comments from here to the bug 123713. Please subscribe to that bug and comment the progress there if needed.

I work on these bugs in my free time, so please patient about my progress for some days.

This is not a dup of bug #123713 as bug# 123713 is about the description typo.
