I removed the "(hidden pref)" info when we revamped 2699, as it will no longer be hidden. In hindsight, that info needs to stay (we haven't archived off end-of-life 54, and it's good information for backwards compatibility).
Nits, review syntax etc. Note: 2 items missing deprecation bugzilla tickets, we can get those in time. Note if each section number is made active, the prefs are also - except those which either match the current js (eg TP/SB not active but we do block reporting) or they make no sense or were inactive originally (eg personal 3000 settings etc) - might want to review those choices as well. Also, a few numbers etc changed to match current numbers (eg replaced by items etc, new sections)
See comment https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/103#issuecomment-300911966 - `*safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.*` is for Flash & TP ONLY (original article by francois had a *slight!!* error since fixed)
This means that 0410d was not shared by TP and SB and to clear it all up .. 0410d is moved to 0420's. 0420's also gets the flash pref 0440 moved into the 0420's.
Now it's all tidy: 0410's = google and SB, 0420's = mozilla & TP+Flash
Exception: I am enforcing TP in ALL windows (default is PB Mode only). I have also added the info for which block list to use in TP. Also clarified that 0440 (flash blocklist) uses prefs in 0410d. Also made flash tracking blocklist pref (0440) inactive. Now all TP and SB is allowed, only real time google binary checks and reporting is disabled.
Instead of `geo.wifi.uri` using 127.0.0.1, for those who do use geo (`geo.enabled` is the master switch), enforce Mozilla's service over Google's.
- Default in stable, beta: https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%
- Nightly defaults to mozilla (not usre of the exact string)
- I do not know if this is a telemetry thing for mozilla for non-stable or if this will roll down from nightly
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](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.1-Overview) wiki page.
