Tor Browser pings tails.net every time the browser is launched.

This could lead to fingerprinting tails users more on a circuit.

Tca from my understanding already sends requests to tails.net every time tails 
is booted to check for updates and for feedback to understand how many people 
are booting/using tails.

Changing the startup homepage to `/usr/share/doc/tails/website/index.en.html` 
would make it so users can still see the Tails News and Documentation while 
also avoiding pinging tails.net more then needed on a circuit.

The only downside would be that users would only see the latest news regarding 
their current version as the offline documentation is only current with the 
version users are on.

(Offline documentation is updated every new update.)

What are your thoughts on setting this pref?

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", 
"/usr/share/doc/tails/website/index.en.html");
