6.6.6 - Privacy hardening - Waterfox Release

Explicitly disables some settings and fixes some feature implementations.

A (not so) devilish release
A few privacy‑sensitive behaviours from upstream Firefox code were not fully disabled in earlier Waterfox builds as we intended. In particular:

• Region detection could still make a one‑time geo‑IP request to Mozilla’s privacy‑preserving backend to infer your country on first run.
• Some local ML/AI plumbing was still technically available and, in edge cases, could surface onboarding UI (e.g. AI link previews) even though the actual AI features and settings stayed disabled.

These weren’t aligned with Waterfox’s privacy goals. We should have caught them earlier, and we appreciate the community for surfacing them so we could tighten things up.

This release makes those behaviours explicit and turns them off by default.
