Important settings are enforced/locked within `mozilla.cfg`, those settings cannot be changed by addons/updates/Firefox or unwanted/accidental manipulation; To change those settings you can easily do it by editing `mozilla.cfg`.

### BUGS:
- Enabling a string with the value defaultPref("browser.contentblocking.category", "strict/standard/custom"); doesn't work and breaks TCP.
Nevertheless, by using LockPref instead works. Anyway, I prefer not locking this, for example if you want to block all cookies.
