    Revert "Force disable `navigator.sendBeacon()`."
    
    This reverts commit 8ccea0137d87d049c0f09ece7428942af78b7570.
    
    I need to think about this more.  While I still think the call is
    basically only used to make tracking people easier, if mainline Tor
    Browser doesn't disable it, this will impact the user anonymity set.
