  fixup! Firefox preference overrides.
  
  BB 41131: Make sure background tasks are not used for shutdown cleanup.
  
  privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown (disabled by default) might try to
  use background tasks, without checking whether they are actually
  available (they are not for us, as we disable them at build time).
