fixup! Firefox preference overrides.

Bug 41609: Set home page and new tab to about:blank in base-browser.

Bug 31575: Disable Firefox Home (Activity Stream)

Treat about:blank as the default home page and new tab page.

Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.jsm in order
to avoid several network requests that we do not need.

 // Use the OS locale by default (tor-browser#17400)

 pref("intl.locale.requested", "");

+// Home page and new tab is blank rather than Firefox Home (Activity Stream).

+// tor-browser#31575 and tor-browser#30662

+pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");

+pref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", false);

 // Disable initial homepage notifications

 pref("browser.search.update", false);

 pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "");

 pref("services.sync.engine.prefs", false);

 pref("services.sync.engine.tabs", false);

 pref("extensions.getAddons.cache.enabled", false); // https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/how-to-opt-out-of-add-on-metadata-updates/

-pref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", false);

 pref("browser.search.region", "US"); // The next two prefs disable GeoIP search lookups (#16254)

 pref("browser.search.geoip.url", "");
