I still think the right way forward here is to re-enable the pref by default, and then revise the code to exclude the mouse fluffing in additional scenarios. If we exclude it on elements with :hover CSS, that would resolve bug 1192588. If we exclude it from happening on long-press events, that would resolve bug 1233272. If we exclude it on pages with click listeners on the root html element, that should fix those jquery cases. At the very least we should be able to get the overall UX to a better state than it is now.

If nobody has objections to the above approach, I'm willing to take ownership of ensuring it gets disabled in whatever scenarios it's getting mis-applied in. Worst case we can always turn the pref back off later if we run into cases where it's too hard to resolve.
