 We disabled the Firefox Hotfix system in #16837 over concerns about
 compatibility/conflicts.

 We can enable this again by setting extensions.hotfix.url to our own
 servers, and only pushing out a specific Mozilla hotfix after we've tested
 it on TBB ourselves, but then we need to deal with pinning and other
 issues. The pinning for AMO is specified here:
 https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 central/source/security/manager/tools/PreloadedHPKPins.json#201

 Mozilla is also planning on replacing the Hotfix mechanism at some point,
 so we'll need to watch for falling bits.
