The Networkinformation API is enabled by default in the mobile version of
Firefox. This is governed by a preference, `dom.netinfo.enabled`. This API
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NetworkInformation)
provides a variety of information, e.g. the connection type a device is
using to communicate with the network or the maximum downlink speed. We
should avoid fingerprinting risks associated with this API. For a
