Comment (by mcs):

 Some outdated and unneeded Torbutton preferences are still included with
 default values via the extension-overrides.js file that is part of the Tor
 Browser profile. See:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git/tree/Bundle-
 Data/linux/Data/Browser/profile.default/preferences/extension-overrides.js

 Kathy and I have prepared a patch to remove all of them, which we will
 post to #20111 very soon.
