New description:

 We should reduce the number of preferences into levels of security rather
 than the myriad of individual behavior controls we have now.

 Our translators will hate us for a while, but there will be less words to
 translate total.

 I want to get the set down to the following four options:

  - Block Plugins
  - Resist Fingerprinting
  - Record Browsing History on Disk
  - Record Tor Cookies on Disk

 I don't think we need much else. The rest of the options will remain
 buried in about:config.

 FYI: We need to disable "Permanent Private Browsing Mode" to allow us to
 record history again.
