0335: Telemetry Coverage endpoint 
let's just coverage-our-ass on this one

While I don't mind telemetry (development needs meaningful feedback to better the product), and I trust the data is not PII, and/or anonymized into buckets etc (you can check this you know), and I understand this one needs to be outside the Telemetry pref in order to gather the one-time ping ... and I trust Mozilla's motives ... I'm starting to get a little annoyed at the non-stop incessant increasing telemetry bullshittery and ass-fuckery around sending data home, and the lengths some Mozilla devs will go to, to hide this info (hidden prefs, access denied tickets to hide discussion of what should be public, and even **not even adhering to their own documentation**).

I will also be killing as many Activity Stream endpoints as well - as long as they are in line with our js - pocket, snippets, onboarding etc. And I will add those from personal as inactive for end-users - eg cfr

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.
