[CRITICAL] phoenix-android.js preferences not being applied in IronFox 147 - privacy hardening inactive

BUG

phoenix-android.js appears to not be applied at all to IronFox 147.0 coming from Accrescent.

See #226 (closed). That's how this was discovered. This breaks a ton of anti-fingerprinting, adds a ton of telemetry back in.
