Just voted for this bug. We are locking certain prefs in the default
installation (for example browser and extension updates are done via
packages, so we diable eg "app.update.enabled").

Debian is shipping a patch in their packages, Ubuntu isn't (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/623844).
