 US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/sendBeacon

 The pref: `beacon.enabled`

 While this is briefly touched upon in #17718, it deserves separate
 discussion.

 This API runs counter to "Transparency in Navigation Tracking", and the
 HTML equivalent (`<a ping="...">`) is currently disabled
 (`browser.send_pings` is set to false by default even with standard
 Firefox).
