 Replying to [comment:3 igt0]:
 > XUL doesn't work well on mobile, so I implemented the mobile preferences
 in XHTML.

 desktop, however I was losing lot of time trying to make the Desktop
 version work. So this patchset has just the **mobile** implementation.

 The original XUL implementation still works on Desktop, correct? Only
 mobile uses XHTML?

 Seems okay - but **Arthur**, maybe you want to skim through one?

 Missing (optional) semi-colon - but all the other lines end with a semi-
 colon:
 {{{
 +// Set the desired slider value and update UI.
 +function torbutton_set_slider(sliderValue) {
 +  state.slider = sliderValue
 }}}

 (preferences.js is missing a semicolon on this line, too)

 ----

 Unnecessary semi-colon after the closing curly bracket of a few functions.
 It seems like those may be copied from `preferences.js`.

 ----

 `descNames` and `linkNames` are reversed in preferences-mobile.js
 (compared to preferences.js). Can you add a comment about this?

 ----

 `SECURITY_PREFERENFES_URI` should be `_PREFERENCES_`?

 Seems okay.

 Do we need to add fennec as a new target application in install.rdf?
 {{{
 +        <!-- fennec -->
 +        <em:targetApplication>
 +            <Description>
 +                <em:id>{aa3c5121-dab2-40e2-81ca-7ea25febc110}</em:id>

 +                <em:maxVersion>10000.0</em:maxVersion>
 +            </Description>
 +        </em:targetApplication>
 }}}
