---------------------------+--------------------------
 Tor Browser still has the vanilla Firefox `Restart with Add-ons
 Disabled...` menu item under the `Help` menu.  While this functionality is
 extremly useful for debugging vanilla Firefox Add-on/Extension issues,
 this should probably be hidden/disabled for Tor Browser since it is a
 giant "Make Tor Browser Not Work" button.

 I suspect miniscule fraction of the userbase will complain if it goes
 missing, so perhaps it should only be hidden via a pref that controls this
 behavior.
