Comment:

 Patch for review in https://github.com/acatarineu/tor-
 browser/commit/32414.

 The requests that were not respecting FPI were the .xml and icons fetches
 when `Services.search.addEngine` is used to add an engine. From web
 content, this can be via the (deprecated) API `external.AddSearchProvider`
 or via the page action that is added when a page has a `<link rel="search"
 type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"...` tag.
