 > I noticed it's possible to set "extensions.legacy.enabled" to false and
 you can still whitelist torbutton and tor-launcher using
 "extensions.legacy.exceptions". This might be a little safer by still
 providing a warning for any other legacy extensions installed.

 > So I'd suggest removing the "extensions.legacy.enabled" line. The other
 two lines of code look good to me.

 Thanks. I did so and change the exception line and the comment a bit
 taking into account that we don't want to have a warning for the default
 them showing up as this is confusing. I removed the whitespace between the
 extension IDs as sukhbir suggested even though that does not matter.

 Applied to `tor-browser-60.0.1esr-8.0-1` as commit
 30544586f8a98e985e0038b2e905bfddb14e999e.
