Comment (by mcs):

 Unfortunately, the files torrc-defaults and extension-overrides.js will be
 overwritten during a browser update (and we are moving towards
 automated/easier updates).  For that reason, the settings should probably
 be added to .\Data\Browser\profile.default\prefs.js and .\Data\Tor\torrc
 (which are not overwritten).  But since those files are empty or non-
 existent in a new installation, we would need to provide documentation
 rather than a template (I realize that makes this process less obvious).
 The ultimate solution is #10439.
