Comment (by mcs):

 We could also remove support for Parental Controls via the --disable-
 parental-controls configure option. The only problem that Kathy and I see
 with the configure solution is that some code Firefox assumes the parental
 controls service is present, i.e.,
 https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/extensions/doh-
 rollout/experiments/heuristics/api.js#11

 We could fix that code and try to upstream the patch.
