It literally cannot hurt [1], and makes it easier for users to use custom mode with TCP/dFPI. Turning on socialtracking helps gain parity with strict mode

> All extensions and ETP work in parallel, they all inspect network requests and all make the decision to block or not, hence if they all decide to block, they will all report that they block something. ETP is a bit different than normal extension in that it will give precedence to an extension trying to redirect to a local resource, this ensures ETP works harmoniously with normal extensions.

It is simpler to leave the PointerEvent pref where it is, until ESR78 is EOL
- FF87+ users who use RFP Alts simply add a dead pref, no harm
- This way ESR78 users don't have to worry about extra char flipping: it's the same as before: 1 flip for ESR, 1 flip for RFP Alts
only stable is false, at the time of writing. but enforcing this for all channels is good, so no-one ends up wasting mozilla resources reporting a compat problem when they've got 200 odd prefs flipped
- don't differentiate between channels
- both can be made inactive
- webcompat requires user action: and I don't see this as a bad thing to have in non-stable
- unsubmitted crashReports on Nightly is probably already covered by killing the URL, so no big deal
- 0000: remove old XUL info, dropped in FF73+
- 0201: save 3 chars
- 0350: add default status for unsubmittedCheck
- 0351: change to enforce: has been default false going back to at least FF60, including current Beta/Dev/Nightly
- along with 0602 `network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS` and 0603 `network.predictor.enable-prefetch`, I considered making them inactive, but decided it was good to leave them active for non-stable users just in case they get flipped
- 0515: add default status
- 0850c: remove info: out of date: doesn't work lilke that anymore and can't be assed figuring it out what with megabar and urlbar2 changes
- 0871: make inactive: default false since at least FF60
- no need to enforce for non-stable in case it is flipped. It's a pretty minor shoulder-surfer privacy issue and the previews are small. If you're not sure what this pref does. On false you get one tab shown, on true you get as many as can fit across your screen. I squeezed in 15, and after that it became a list
- fixup `***/`
- shave off six lines and almost 400 bytes for you bastards
- This is too minimal to be of any use, breaks too much (e.g. zoom video)
- Tor browser stopped flipping this (I *think*) about 5 years ago: it certainly hasn't been used in ESR60+ based TB builds, I checked
- we already disable webgl, so making this inactive removes yet another pref users need to flip/troubleshoot
- I will leave it in the user js for a few releases so prefsCleaner will pick it up
- It is controlled in both runtime and via user.js by the state of `media.eme.enabled`. Also, who cares about the vis of a ui option
- note, there is no need to add this to the removed scratchpad list
