 If the image's width is greater than 600dp then set the max width at 600dp
 and scale the height accordingly. However, if the the current width is
 already near 600dp (+/- 100dp), then set the width at 400dp and scale the
 height accordingly. I'm hoping this allows for a better experience on
 lower-density/lower-resolution screens.

 Works and looks indeed better on my phone, thanks!

 > As for the space between the `about:tor` text and the url bar, I don't
 know what it causing that. I haven't successfully reproduced it. We added
 some code for preventing this by reloading the page when the chrome (url
 bar) is rendered after bootstrapping completes. I noticed we reload the
 page and allow  Gecko to use the cache. I wonder if this is the bug, where
 it is using the cached version instead of re-rendering it, but I don't
 know why I can't reproduce it. In this new branch I forced bypass-cache
 with reload, so I'm curious if this solves the problem.

 It does!

 > In addition, I now have a spinning onion animation file we may be able
 to use. I don't know if we'll be can get it into this release.

 We'll see. Let's do this in a follow-up bug.

 Anyway, I've closed the child tickets and referenced the respective
 commits there. Additional bug fixes from `28329_31` made it into commit
 be91c6f0a5cba14a7ba0e17682b158ada97667be and
 7b5f5ee887cd6fd865e86784ad536b4c0136ce83 on `tor-browser-60.6.1esr-8.5-1`

 I'll file follow-up tickets for the following issues (please double-check
 that I did not miss any):

 1. The spinning onion
 1. The custom bridge line solution (we'd like to have a multi-line form
 here)
 1. The "switch-jump-issue" if one enables/disables bridges (see
 comment:71)
 1. The potentially orbot-related null pointer exception (see comment:61)
