Comment:

 I previously tried upstreaming our #16488 patch to Firefox, but Chris
 Karlof pointed out to me that the approach is rather Tor Browser-specific:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217295

 So here's a torbutton patch that accomplishes the same thing:
 https://github.com/arthuredelstein/torbutton/commit/18743
 Hash 242777b8336128995219470275d50b6b6788acb1

 We could then drop the tor-browser.git patch:
 https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-browser/commit/18743+1
 Hash c23e50149bc76dfa0529b51f64947f556903c34f
