Features and settings

Removed anti-features

- Telemetry

Installation
This repo should go in ~/.mozilla/firefox/. If you cp or rsync it into
that directory, it will overwrite the profiles.ini file, which is where you
set your default profile. It won't delete your old profile(s), but if you want
them again, you must modify profiles.ini to set them as the Path in
[Profile0].
