thanks.
yes, I've seen the design doc and a link pointing
to "a number of Firefox preference changes".
unfortunately it resolves to something I fail to
grasp, namely:

I don't know what I'm supposed to do w/ this
the links you have provided work fine.
my interest in these settings is to see
potentially "leaky" settings, like safebrowsing
feature, geolocation etc, and to nick them into my
"less than private" regular firefox installation
