 mrphs discovered that the font whitelist after the updater ran didn't get
 properly applied until restarting Tor Browser.

 I also saw another pref not update this morning (I think it was
 "dom.event.highrestimestamp.enabled") when my TBB updated. (Though I may
 be misremembering.)

 So it would be useful to figure out if prefs are not getting fully applied
 until the browser restarts after an update. Is this a Firefox problem or
 just TBB? It could potentially be a significant security/privacy flaw.
