 The code that read preferences from <profiledir>/preferences/extension-
 overrides.js was removed as part of
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413413

 We will have to do one of the following:
 1. Restore the code that was removed (but see ticket:25750#comment:8).
 2. Devise another way to handle the preferences that we include in
 extension-overrides.js
