fixup! Firefox preference overrides.
BB 43769: Update the comment about overscroll.
We had an issue about gating overscroll behind RFP.
However, as far as I can tell, it cannot really be measured.
So, disabling it is basically a defense-in-depth, so I updated the
comment to include more information about this.

+// tor-browser#43769,42010,42138: Disable overscroll UX.
+// Firefox has an overscroll effect that appears only when using a touch screen
+// or a touchpad. So, theoretically it is a behavior difference also for
desktop
+// users.
+// However, we could not find a way to actually measure this effect.
+// Still, the UX impact on disabling this animation is minimal, therefore we do
+// it just in case there is an actual way to measure it.
