 Absolutely -- you are making valuable contributions.

 If something in content could change a pref, that's would obviously be a
 very serious bug. If you can find an reproducible example, by all means
 open a ticket.

 It sounds much more likely to me that the
 "dom.workers.sharedWorkers.enabled" pref had a user value set in your
 profile (probably by torbutton), carried over from a previous version of
 TBB.

 > Would it be addressed or buried in the closed tickets as many other
 issues?

 If you find an issue that is lost, please open a ticket! It's much easier
 to deal with if there is a single issue per ticket. But please also
 understand we have to prioritize. And that everyone here is trying to do
 the right thing.
