[Question] What does the exclamation mark badge indicate?

[bege10]

Hello,
thanks for this great script.
Sometimes the button has an exclamation mark badge, sometimes it hasn't. I don't understand what it indicates and how it is controlled in the script.

If we set the item to a value that may cause vulnability, we can tell it to show some mark.

You can control:

aboutconfig-menu/aboutconfig_menu.uc.js

Lines 74 to 82 in e2f4be1

	{
	name: "🔏 Enable deprecated TLS version",
	type: prefs.PREF_BOOL,
	pref: "security.tls.version.enable-deprecated",
	possibleVals: [
	{ val: false },
	{ name: "true ⚠️", val: true , sign: '‼️'},
	]
	},

aboutconfig-menu/aboutconfig_menu.uc.js

Lines 135 to 143 in e2f4be1

	{
	name: "▶️ WebAudio",
	type: prefs.PREF_BOOL,
	pref: "dom.webaudio.enabled",
	possibleVals: [
	{ val: false },
	{ val: true , sign: '‼️' , warnbadge: true},
	]
	},

aboutconfig-menu/aboutconfig_menu.uc.js

Lines 278 to 286 in e2f4be1

	{
	name: "💻 DevTool comfirm on connection",
	type: prefs.PREF_BOOL,
	pref: "devtools.debugger.prompt-connection",
	possibleVals: [
	{ val: true },
	{ name: "false ⚠️", val: false , sign: '‼️' },
	]
	},

Is it this code warnbadge: true that triggers the badge on the button? But why does it sometimes disappear without changing the prefs?

That means if there is a danger setting set to true ore false and can so cause
a vulnerability the exclamation badge shows up. The question now is, why sometimes
it is hidden without changes in the settings? Strange behaviour.
Thank you for this fantastic script. Great work!!!

Currently, update_badge() is called only when we click the icon or change pref by our menu. So, the badge status isn't always following the real pref value.

That's what needs to be improved (in future, not sure when ... 🤦‍♂️).
