Comment:

 Okay, I was still not able to track the reason for the startup hangs down.
 I don't hit any assertions in a debug build and trying to figure out
 preferences we set and which could interfere was futile as well.

 For a while it seemed as if Tor Launcher related preferences could have
 played a role here but that was with bundles that were not freshly
 extracted. Restricting myself to only clean, new bundles showed that even
 removing all of our default preferences (besides
 `privacy.fuzzyfox.enabled`) did not solve the problem. And removing all
 Tor Launcher bits from `omni.ja` did not change things either.

 I guess the next thing we could do would be bisecting our patches to
 figure out which Firefox change is actually causing this problem. However,
 depending on where the problem actually is, this is currently not trivial.
 #31918 should help with that.
