remove SB & TP see #710 
- SB: disabling it nothing to enhance privacy/security etc if changed from default
- SB: I will not provide the prefs or encourage users to disable these, especially given that there is a UI
- SB: the urls are redundant
- SB: note: the binary checks stays
- TP section is out of date (or soon will be), I'm not maintaining it, it has a UI and is best handled there

README.md

user.js

A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.

Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.

Also be aware that this user.js is made specifically for Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
