  fixup! Firefox preference overrides.
  
  Bug 42830: Enable Web Audio API.
  
  We were concerned about fingerprintability of these APIs.
  However, Mozilla switched to the same Math library for all platforms, so
  these concerns are less reduced (and are mostly about different
  architectures, that probably leak anyway).
  So, for compatibility, we decided to enable Web Audio.
