Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:7 gk]:
 > We are getting a new console error it seems:
 > {{{
 > console.error: Loop
 >   loop is not enabled
 > }}}
 > Why should that happen in case the loop feature is disabled via
 preference? Why should that be treated as an error? If I as a user would
 disable that I'd expect it would only show me an error if the button were
 still visible/loop would still be activated.

 Kathy and I think you are right; let's remove that log message. Here is a
 revised patch:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug16863-02&id=358fd961b9558398e5c9a86abc1fecb022c7793e

 > Apart from that it looks fine. Do you think that would be something for
 the stable users, too? I'd say, yes.

 Kathy and I say 'yes' also.
