    Bug 31575: Replace Firefox Home (newtab) with about:tor
    
    Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.jsm in order
    to avoid several network requests that we do not need. Besides,
    about:newtab will now point to about:blank or about:tor (depending
    on browser.newtabpage.enabled) and about:home will point to
    about:tor.
