 would be to "surgically" relocate the Torbutton toolbar item and then
 insert the new Security Settings one in the correct place. Maybe that can
 be implemented in a followup ticket.

 Okay, that's what I expected. Looking back at the proposal it seems we
 might want to think about the following two items closer:

 1) 2.2: What to do about per-site security settings and how to expose them
 to users?

 2) 3.1: Where have my extensions gone? (which is essentially the point
 about which I brought up in my last comment)
