 FWIW: integration of the various Torbutton pieces directly into the
 browser (without having an extension-like thing to disable anymore) might
 complicate the pref plan but it should still be possible. One thing that
 would be good to know is whether _all_ Torbutton features should be
 disabled or just, say, the Tor proxy related ones (I could easily see why
 the unsecure browser in Tails could have the external helper app warning
 dialog enabled (which is covered by an own pref anyway) or similar non-
 proxy features).
