Comment (by mikeperry):

 I changed my mind. I think matching the display name of "Tor Browser" is
 safest, despite the space, since while looking into these config options I
 found some Mozilla bugs where they were sometimes using the wrong type of
 name (appname vs basename vs display name) in various places in the code.
 So having them all match seems to actually be smarter on balance.
 Hopefully the space won't cause any surprise remoting issues..

 FYI: I have a patch to do this in mikeperry/bugs13375+14977+15029. That
 branch is accumulating a bunch of changes in it because I want to test
 this along side a few other bug fixes in a full build. I will likely add
 #14631 to the mix as well.
