Do we need to keep supporting these prefs?

We need to continue supporting the notion of non-remote browsers (for things like about:preferences, about:config, etc), but disabling e10s is no longer a supported configuration, no.

Hi Mike,Dão,

We suggest, at least, there is way to disable e10s (multiprocess).
This bug is P5 bug, which is a low priority.
Bug 1486079 removed the tabbrowser-initialBrowser id so I'm guessing it fixed this.
