Telemetry upload enabled despite checkboxes unchecked in settings
Telemetry upload is enabled even though all the checkboxes are de-selected in about:preferences. about:telemetry shows: Telemetry is collecting pre-release data and upload is enabled. I have all the telemetry prefs set to false as well.

My console is stuffed with errors of firefox trying and failing to send telemetry pings.
