Comment:

 For review:

 tor-browser-build (sets the `CXXFLAGS`):

 https://github.com/azadi/tor-browser-build-1/tree/bug-9145

 Tor Browser (removes the preferences):

 https://github.com/azadi/gecko-dev/tree/bug-9145

 I tested this on a Windows machine with an earlier build and Tor Browser
 was indeed crashing when the preferences were enabled (set to `false`).
 The new build with the above change does not crash; I verified this for
 both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Tor Browser.
