browser.tabs.crashReporting.sendReport
datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled
datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled
toolkit.coverage.endpoint.base
toolkit.coverage.opt-out
toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out

Region.current
Region.home
browser.region.update.enabled
browser.region.network.url

How so? Why is that?
