TO DOs

• Change mozilla.cfg from remote_file to template
• Add override.ini
• Add userChrome.css/userContent.css
• Add
  • greprefs.js - preferences shared by all applications using the Mozilla platform
  • services/common/services-common.js - preferences for some shared services code, this should arguably be included in some other file
  • defaults/pref/services-sync.js - default preferences for Firefox sync, also oddly misplaced
  • browser/app/profile/channel-prefs.js - a file indicating the user's update channel. This is kept separate from other preferences because it can affect how updates are applied.
  • browser/app/profile/firefox.js - defaults specific to Firefox
  • browser/app/profile/firefox-branding.js - defaults specific to the specific kind of Firefox being installed (Nightly, Aurora, Beta, Release)
  • browser/defaults/preferences/firefox-l10n.js - defaults specific to the installed language of Firefox. None of the other preference files contain locale-specific preferences.
