 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:

 > Thanks! We'll start building Tor Browser release candidates without the
 patch up for review then, assuming the workaround will happen in NoScript
 directly.

 Actually I still need some way to tell we're in the Tor Browser and/or we
 need this work-around, because I'm not making it the default for all the
 NoScript users.

 May I suggest changing this patch into just
 {{{
 -   "tabId": -1
 +    "torBrowser": Services.appinfo.platformVersion,
 +    "tabId": -1
 }}}

 This would help a lot in similar situations.
 Not surprisingly, because it would be a way to fix issue #29021 ;)

 Thank you!
