Comment:

 I think we should disable this now since it is a trivial change. A fix is
 available here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug16441-01&id=ca5a7a43a2873a84b69f7d8b1f00e3baff664c6c

 Note that if someone loads about:support they will still see a "Refresh
 Tor Browser" button there (maybe we should open another ticket to cover
 that obscure case).

 Also note that the automated pref tests need more work; see #17809.
