C++ preferences changes are likely going to be the Core::Preferences module, not the Desktop Firefox::Preferences module. Kris Wright could review these patches.

I'm suggesting P1 as this is a blocker for removal spectre mitigations.

Also, I think a more precise bugzilla component for changes under modules/libpref/ is Core::Preferences::Backend. (I haven't looked at all of the patches so I don't know if there are any changes here to the frontend part of the preferences code.)

Component: Preferences → Preferences: Backend
Product: Toolkit → Core

All this behavior is off-by-default, so I'm going to try to land it and then let a few people opt-in for testing.
