For me, this could be removed entirely.

Remove it, it's a corporate feature rarely used by humans.

I can't click on smilies.

OK. I can't click on smilies and can't open other things here and there: Oldies but Goldies browsers.

Agreed since nothing is changed with any of them.

I know this isn't an open call for edits but consider removing the bit about IPv6 as well.

/ 2621: disable IPv6 (included for knowledge ONLY [WARNING] do not do this)
This is all about covert channels such as MAC addresses being included/abused in the
IPv6 protocol for tracking. If you want to mask your IP address, this is not the way
to do it. It's 2016, IPv6 is here. Here are some old links

_(followed by seven more lines of links)_

Hey, um, I'm a little confused. That section, _2513: disable Presentation API_, was there in case somebody wanted to enable dom.presentation. or, WTH?! Why would you need it at all, the defaults (really) _are_ False. Not sure I'm able to follow, gah! :-f

Edit: "Presentation API enables web content to access external presentation-type displays and use them for presenting web content. With this API, web page can initiate and control an presentation request." << So, why would anyone -ever- wanna do this.

^^ Honestly, I just can't seem to get it...

Also, the other link, simply looks like this should be something that Firefox can be compiled /built completely without, right?.. So, what's the contemplation - to use it, for what exactly?

Edit: And this makes it pretty clear that this component is looking to make a OS out of Firefox: something that the actual OS should be doing; & what a browser has NO business doing. Correct?!

(Yes, I understand how this type of madness is dictated by other competitors - such as Google Chrome - but, for _us_, we do NOT needed it, nor want it?!??)

P.S. So after much writing (and editing, sorry), should this section be kept, then?! Set to false, as it is, ofc.

Information verses pertinence: I vote to keep the setting.
