 Should we always make it unavailable (even when e10s is disabled)? Or
 maybe we don't care because we will probably enable e10s for all Tor
 Browser users or none.

 and/or detecting that it is not available. But there are probably other
 ways to detect that e10s is enabled.

 I made a note in #21432. Maybe we find some good solution to the "e10s and
 fingerprinting" issue.

 when they go through the SOCKS proxy. But you may be correct.

 I opened #21674 for investigating this.
