 Testing a pre-nightly Tor Browser build based on ESR60 it turns out the
 `about:tor` page is not loading. In the error console exceptions are
 thrown:
 {{{
 [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004004
 (NS_ERROR_ABORT) [nsIPrefBranch.getComplexValue]"  nsresult: "0x80004004
 (NS_ERROR_ABORT)"  location: "JS frame :: jar:file:///path/to/tor-browser
 /tor-browser_en-
 US/Browser/browser/omni.ja!/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js :: get
 startPage :: line 660"  data: no]
 }}}
 I guess, not treating that `browser.startup.homepage` as preference with a
 complex value is not working as well as we thought.

 (However, it worked while I was testing the patch for #26100 for some
 reason).
