Comment:

 Here is a small patch for review: https://www.github.com/acatarineu/tor-
 browser/commit/30683. I checked htmlparser.properties just in case, but it
 seems only being used in `view-source:*` pages, which should not be
 accessible from web content.

 Do we want all these `tbb-fingerprinting-locale` fixed just for next esr68
 or also for current esr60? I did the patch based on current alpha, but it
 should not be difficult to adapt for esr68.
