  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.

  Bug 10760: Integrate TorButton to TorBrowser core
  
  Because of the non-restartless nature of Torbutton, it required
  a two-stage installation process. On mobile, it was a problem,
  because it was not loading when the user opened the browser for
  the first time.
  
  Moving it to tor-browser and making it a system extension allows it
  to load when the user opens the browser for first time.
  
  Additionally, this patch also fixes Bug 27611.
  
  Bug 26321: New Circuit and New Identity menu items
  
  Bug 14392: Make about:tor behave like other initial pages.
  
  Bug 25013: Add torbutton as a tor-browser submodule
  
  Bug 31575: Replace Firefox Home (newtab) with about:tor
