[Bug 923944] Re: Forcing middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false is confusing

[Chris Coulson]

Note that we don't intentionally force this preference, but it gets
overwritten due to a bug in Firefox (preferences that are changed by a
user back to the upstream default after being overridden by an extension
are forgotten on shutdown).

We did originally have a workaround for this, but it changed the
preferences API in such a way that it completely broke Firefox Sync,
causing a bogus value to be sent in the Accept-Language header - which
caused major sites (including Google) to be presented in the wrong
language.

We made the decision to regress this bug to fix the Firefox Sync bug
instead, as we considered that bug to be much more serious than this.
