Comment:

 It looks like this has been around for a long time:

 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Desktop/Add-on_hotfix
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694068

 I knew about it but did not put 2 and 2 together that this is a feature we
 should remove for Tor Browser.  I agree that we should disable it.
