Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 acat]:
 > Is this pref syncing still logic necessary? If that's not the case, here
 is a patch which just removes this dependency between those two prefs,
 which should solve this issue:
 https://github.com/acatarineu/torbutton/commit/30171

 The patch looks good to me and Kathy (brade). Georg should confirm, but we
 think you are correct that the syncing logic is no longer necessary
 (especially since — as far as I know — in recent versions of Tor Browser
 there is no GUI to allow someone to set `privacy.firstparty.isolate` to
 false).
