 When TorLauncher is disabled in Tor Browser (to enable bypass of the Tor
 network), it is no longer possible to control DoNotTrack Header in
 about:preferences#privacy. DNT Header is always enabled when checking for
 example on panopticlick.eff.org in spite of setting DoNotTrack to disabled
 in about:preferences or setting ''privacy.donottrackheader.enabled'' to
 false in about:config.

 Disabling or enabling TorButton have no effect on this issue.

 This bug seems new in TB version 7.5.4, even though I am not completely
 sure.
