I upgrade to Firefox 60 ESR on Debian today and saw the following changes in the debian-provided default firefox-esr.js file:

+++ /etc/firefox-esr/firefox-esr.js.dpkg-new    2018-09-07 11:21:32.000000000 +0200

+// This is the Debian specific preferences file for Firefox ESR

+pref("browser.newtabpage.enhanced", false, sticky);

Notice the addition of a help text about locked prefs, and the sticky flag on browser.newtabpage.enhanced.

I don't know how to use these flags, could it be a replacement for the current locked prefs setup procedure?
