[Dev] Let's revert and move changes introduced by bugs #645 and #677 on Iceweasel

[Jorge Araya Navarro]

Suspicion is good enough criteria, AFAIK.

Again, dependency is not good enough reason. Dependency in a piece of hardware that requires
proprietary software to function is, on the other hand, good enough reason to replace *such*
hardware.

But the server side of Firefox Hello do not affects my four freedoms. LibreJS exists because
proprietary Javascript runs in user's browsers, not because the stack of the servers visited by
those users runs the entire Parabola's black list.
