Comment (by cypherpunks):

 What about those of us who use transparent torification and want to use
 WebRTC? I understand why this is disabled in the default configuration
 (using SOCKS), but as long as a proper firewall/Tails/Whonix/TorVM is in
 place, the browser would be prevented from making any direct connections,
 no matter how hard it tries. UDP traffic would likely be blocked entirely,
 but there's still plenty of usefulness in WebRTC's "reliable data
 channels" (TCP). I'd like to see the user be able to enable WebRTC using
 the aforementioned media.peerconnection.enabled option, but I guess we'll
 have to wait until Mozilla decides to honor that option. Perhaps a bug
 report should be filed with Mozilla to help fix this problem?
