Comment (by traumschule):

 TB users do not install extensions so we do not need
 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.blocklist.enabled this] and can set
 **extensions.blocklist.enabled** to false.

 However the info on
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Blocklisting#Discussion_.26_Implications
 may be outdated:
 > N/A - no information will be sent to any site due to this project except
 possibly application ID as we do for application and extension update
 checks.
 extensions.blocklist.url
