Comment (by mcs):

 Some additional analysis:
 * We already set `network.cookie.cookieBehavior` to `1` via
 browser/app/profile/000-tor-browser.js, which I think is still the value
 we want to use.
 * The pref `privacy.trackingprotection.enabled` has the value `false` by
 default (see modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml).
 * In Tor Browser, we set `privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled` to
 `false` via browser/app/profile/000-tor-browser.js.
 * The above two prefs values should ensure that ETP is disabled.
 * Most of the UI is removed by the #26345 patch. However,
 about:protections is new. We should audit it and decide whether to remove
 it entirely or keep parts of it in Tor Browser. Since its main purpose
 seems to be to show ETP statistics and to promote other Mozilla services
 (e.g., Lockwise), removing it seems best.
