https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005863 got stalled for
some time, because it wasn't clear if it was OK to stop migrating font
settings from Safari.

I think this leads to a more general question:
Is it really a good idea that our profile migrators migrate settings
from other browsers when those settings have been left to the defaults
of those browsers?

By migrating settings that the user hasn't changed from other browsers
basically outsources the decisions on what the defaults should be from
us to our competitors. This might mean default fonts, but this most
visibly also means Windows users ending up with an MSN home page if
they just click through the installation process. (At least last I
checked, which was a good while ago.)

Do we *really* want to delegate decisions about the defaults to
competitors like this?
