 > Man, there's not very much info about the actual status of this feature
 and prefs to disable it. From
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718066, it looks like it's
 not getting deployed until Firefox 20?

 Not sure. But probably not earlier than Firefox 21. See:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718066#c105

 > Is that right? Or did it sneak in early somehow like Social and WebRTC?

 Well, I had a look and the earliest code is in Firefox 18. Thus, Firefox
 17 is safe. If you are looking for preferences look for something like
