Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:21 cypherpunks]:
 > It is disconcerting that isis posted a workaround (danke!) six weeks ago
 but didn't mention the downsides to this workaround (nicht danke!).

 > I think it is a bit irresponsible of isis to recommend this workaround
 here without informing users of the risks.

 I think you are misunderstanding the discussion there. In comment:18, Isis
 did a diagnostic test on an old version of Tor Browser to help with
 developing a patch for this bug. That purpose was clear from the context
 -- there's no indication that a workaround was being proposed.

 Besides, this bug tracker is intended for discussing software development.
 As such, ideas will be freely proposed and discarded. So one should be
 very hesitant to take a bug comment as advice for users.

 > Maybe a Tor Browser upgrade should fix the damage done by this advice
 (and force the setting back to `1`)?

 You do bring up an important point, that nonstandard prefs in Tor Browser
 are dangerous for users, and perhaps more users are naively changing prefs
 than we realize. I opened a ticket to examine this overall problem: #21983
