    Bug 22614: Make e10s/non-e10s Tor Browsers indistinguishable
    
    e10s in its current form probably brings some fingerprinting risks with it.
    E.g. users of accessibility tools (not only those users) won't have e10s
    enabled on windows and macOS. In order to solve this issue
    "dom.disable_window_showModalDialog" is set to "true".
