FWIW: integration of the various Torbutton pieces directly into the
browser (without having an extension-like thing to disable anymore) might
complicate the pref plan but it should still be possible. One thing that
would be good to know is whether _all_ Torbutton features should be
disabled or just, say, the Tor proxy related ones (I could easily see why
the unsecure browser in Tails could have the external helper app warning
dialog enabled (which is covered by an own pref anyway) or similar non-
proxy features).
