Details

Similar to bug 1189036, this would override all application-provided ICE settings and replace them, allowing you to force use of a TURN server under your control.  This would both be a privacy-enhancing move, but also a way for organizations to provide a locked-down network with a controlled relay, without having to wait for the IETF "Return" draft to near finalization.  It may also be useful in conjunction with a VPN, especially a "split VPN"

No patch is needed here.  To force a specific TURN (or STUN) server:

in about:config (or via an extension), set use_document_iceservers to false, and set media.peerconnection.default_iceservers to the list of STUN/TURN servers you want to use instead.
