Comment:
We already set browser.selfsupport.enabled = false in
browser/app/profile/000-tor-browser.js, and Kathy and I believe that is
enough to disable the Heartbeat feature for both regular and private
windows. If we want to be doubly sure we could also set
browser.selfsupport.url to an empty string.
Kathy and I definitely believe that we should also set
browser.uitour.enabled = false. Doing so will disable a bunch of code that
allows remote pages to manipulate the browser UI (in a limited way,
assuming no bugs). Maybe that deserves its own ticket. But in

UITour itself.
Arthur, how are we suppressing the UITour?
