-/*** [SECTION 2300]: WEB WORKERS
- A worker is a JS "background task" running in a global context, i.e. it is different from
- the current window. Workers can spawn new workers (must be the same origin & scheme),
- including service and shared workers. Shared workers can be utilized by multiple scripts and
- communicate between browsing contexts (windows/tabs/iframes) and can even control your cache.

-/* 2302: disable service workers [FF32, FF44-compat]
- * Service workers essentially act as proxy servers that sit between web apps, and the
- * browser and network, are event driven, and can control the web page/site they are associated
- * with, intercepting and modifying navigation and resource requests, and caching resources.
- * [NOTE] Service workers require HTTPS, have no DOM access, and are not supported in PB mode [1]
- * [SETUP-WEB] Disabling service workers will break some sites. This pref is required true for
- * service worker notifications (2304), push notifications (disabled, 2305) and service worker
- * cache (2740). If you enable this pref, then check those settings as well
