Comment (by mikeperry):

 I attempted to create a general Torbutton pref flipping function for this
 kind of stuff (specifically #16730), but resetting this newtab pref from
 there caused it to be completely ignored, even after restart!
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/mikeperry/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug16730

 Is there some reason why we need to flip this pref in the browser? I think
 I'd rather not clutter up our browser repo with such hacks as this, thats
 why I tried to do it in Torbutton.. But I have no idea why that is not
 working.

 P.S. Mcs - you were right. The pref was a user value for me, but the lack
 of bold threw me.
