[Description:]
Switching the browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting on/off/on, it is possible to alter the default topsite amazon.de to amazon.com.

Additionally, probably after the bug 1661008 fix, amazon.com also gets pinned by default and marked as a search shortcut. (this part is not reproducible on 81 b4)

[Environment:]
Windows 10, Ubuntu 20, Mac 10.13.6
81.0b9

[Steps:]
1. Create a new profile with:
         user_pref("services.settings.load_dump", false);
         user_pref("browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting", true);
         user_pref("browser.search.region", "DE");
2. Start Firefox, observe topsites -> from RS top-sites collection. 
4. Close Firefox, set browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting to false.
5. Start Firefox, observe topsites -> legacy configuration.
6. Close Firefox, set browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting to true.
7. Start Firefox, observe topsites -> from RS top-sites collection. 

##### [Actual Result:]
2. (RS)amazon.de is listed, not pinned, not search shortcut
5. (legacy)amazon.com is listed, pinned, search shortcut.
7. (RS)amazon.com is listed, pinned, search shortcut. 

##### [Expected Result:]
2. (RS)amazon.de is listed, not pinned, not search shortcut
5. (legacy)amazon.com is listed, pinned, search shortcut.
7. (RS)amazon.de is listed, not pinned, not search shortcut.
