 > Adding the attention-grabbing dot took some work but it seems
 worthwhile. We ended up using a variation of the third animation that
 Dunqan suggested in comment:4 (a simple pulsating "dot" that stops
 animating after 14 seconds). Kathy and I think it looks good without being
 too annoying. Once we have a new nightly build everyone should take a look
 at it. You can force the 8.5 update tour to be displayed by opening the
 browser, using about:config to set `browser.onboarding.tourset-version` to
 `2` (instead of the new default value of `3`), and then restarting the
 browser.

 Looks good to me. I merged the Torbutton patch to `master` (commit
 9d7c1081105eb3858f6654daa31202d4bac1d84f) and the browser patch to `tor-
 browser` (commit e4a163b58530f37b7f292fe49ad7b882b2f046d0).

 For anyone testing that in, say, nightly builds the pref to actually set
 tp `2` is `browser.onboarding.seen-tourset-version`.
