The current entirely-manual synchronization of mozconfig.in and configure.in is unnecessarily convoluted. >Fix: If there are extensions that _must_ be disabled, those particulars should be disabled by changing files/mozconfig.in so that the --enable-extensions="foo,bar,baz" becomes --enable-extensions="default,-qux,-toobig,-etc". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
