    fixup! TB4: Tor Browser's Firefox preference overrides.
    
    Bug 25794 deals with pointer events and associated fingerprinting
    risks. There are patches we can backport from Mozilla, but they are not
    small and we should give them some baking time. Thus, let's disable
    pointer events for now.
