  fixup! Firefox preference overrides.
  
  BB 41065: Hardcode the limit of storage quota.
  
  Currently, we return min(10GB, 0.2 * available space in the fs).
  This is bad for systems that have less than 50GB free, especially live
  systems, such as Tails.
  Set a pref to replace the available space with a hardcoded limit
  (5GiB).

  Bug 43386: Use Firefox in the UA in RFP-exempt request.
  
  XHR requests initiated by extensions are exempt from RFP.
  Therefore, they report the actual app name, instead of Firefox, and the
  actual Firefox minor version.
  
  This happens whenever the app name has been customized and does not
  match a hardcoded "Firefox".

  fixup! Firefox preference overrides.
  
  BB 43236: Disable vsync on Wayland.
  
  Vsync leaks the monitor refresh rate, therefore it is already disabled
  on other platforms, including Linux/X11 and Windows.

+// tor-browser#41065: lie about the available quota.

+// This value is in KiB, and will be divided by 5. Currently: 50GiB, to be

+// systems.

+// This will be the limit also after granting the persistent storage permission,

+// but we are not interested in it, since we support only PBM.

+// We can come back to it, and hardcode the two spaced differently, if we ever

+// think we need it.
