Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:11 gk]:
 > That said, this pref and related Torbutton UA ones are a relic of the
 toggle era and are doing nothing. We should remove them instead.

 Here is a patch that removes them:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug16200-02&id=699617776da868b4eabf982d23e7c901498905ef

 There are other "leftovers" that could be removed too, but this is a start
 (e.g., I do not think entities such as torbutton.prefs.refererspoofing are
 used anywhere).
