New description:

 `network.dns.blockDotOnion` is set to `true` in Firefox but we might need
 to set it to `false` in Tor Browser for transparent proxying. At least
 that is indicated by
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228457#c18. We should
 investigate that.

Comment (by gk):

 Thanks, I fixed the description. That said, I'd still like to hear from
 folks doing actually transparent proxying that this is needed. So far, I
 am not aware of any bug report complaining about us having it set to
 `true`.
