media.peerconnection.enabled it disable WebRTC.

browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled it removes the tab manager. The down facing arrow next to the minimize button at the top right.

media.peerconnection.enabled it disable WebRTC.

Why would you want that? Doesn't that block you from using basically any online call?

I don't do online calls. Yes, it does block you from making online calls.

And why would you want that disabled besides not requiring it?

WebRTC leaks your IP allowing third-party websites to exploit the WebRTC in your browser to detect your real IP address and use it to identify you.

You still can use desktop apps to do that.

Personally I have a separate Ungoogled Chromium installation for online calls, since some of those call/conferencing services kick up a fuss when launched inside Firefox ☹️
