Comment:

 One system function call that should have been applied long long ago. (For
 tor.exe and others, please, too.)
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=805173
 P.S. It is not necessary for applications to enable it since Win 8 because
 the system uses it for all processes by default.
