Comment(by gk):

 That issue is not fixed in Firefox21+. The only thing
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755724 does is to break the
 test on http://marcorondini.eu/research/resource_uri/ as the latter relies
 on resource:///defaults/autoconfig/platform.js which seems not to be
 available anymore. But at least the locale is still extractable in a
 recent Nightly and therefore whether a TorBrowser is used as well, I
 guess. Additionally, there might still be a good chance that the platform
 is getting extracted, too, using some platform specific differences in
 resource:///defaults/preferences/firefox.js (if there are any). That said,
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=863246 is probably a
 duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503221 which
 Gregory Fleischer opened several years ago.
