Comment (by reportUrl):

 Replying to [ticket:27623 mcs]:
 > The default values for some preferences are wrong in Tor Browser 8.0.
 For example, `browser.dom.window.dump.enabled` has a default value of
 `true`.
 >
 > Maybe an issue similar to #27472 is affecting our desktop builds as
 well? See: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr60/source/modules/libpref/init/all.js#1090 where MOZILLA_OFFICIAL is
 used to choose some pref values.
 It's easily detectable by checking `browser.safebrowsing.id` which is set
 to `navclient-auto-ffox` for MOZILLA_OFFICIAL and `Firefox` otherwise
 (https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr60/rev/b7dd3969261896020d7a9449d22f350a97e3517a/modules/libpref/init/all.js#5555).
