    Bug 12974: Disable NTLM and Negotiate HTTP Auth
    
    This is technically an embargoed Mozilla bug, so I probably shouldn't provide
    too many details.
    
    Suffice to say that NTLM and Negotiate auth are bad for Tor users, and I doubt
    very many (or any of them) actually need it.
    
    The Mozilla bug was https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046421,
    however we still need to keep this patch because of tor-browser#27602
    (which refers https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261591)
