Comment:

 Why exactly do you need to set that preference to `true`? Because there is
 no domain isolation possible with I2P used instead? FWIW: I don't think
 just switching that pref alone is a food idea. See
 `torbutton_use_nontor_proxy()` in `torbutton.js` for why. If you ship an
 own I2P browser I assume you ship an own profile with it. Why can't you
 just flip the default preferences in it accordingly? What do you plan to
 do with all the Tor-related branding, because it is not Tor Browser you'll
 ship anymore even if it says so.
