 Thanks for working on this!  The above changes sound good.

 > On that last point, would it be possible to animate the dot slightly?
 e.g. Could we make it pulse in CSS, like so
 [https://codepen.io/olam/pen/zcqea here] or
 [https://codepen.io/vram1980/pen/Kyaie here]? Alternatively something like
 [http://jsfiddle.net/risto/hvabkcc7/ this] would be subtler.

 We will see what we can do.

 > == Onboarding ==
 >
 > * Automatically skip returning users down to the first "New" item
 > * Replace tick icon with purple "NEW" pill for updated items (I've
 redrawn & increased the size of the tick icon slightly to match too)
 > * Consider a highlight state for text to emphasise changes for returning
 users (this is really an optional extra, however I'm conscious that some
 updates in future may be quite subtle and may need the extra emphasis)

 After looking at Mozilla's implementation, Kathy and I would like to make
 a propose a different approach. Mozilla's model is that returning users
 (e.g., those who have updated their browser) are shown a completely
 different set of onboarding pages. That way there is no confusion about
 which items are new and which are not. Here are some mockups to show what
 it might look like if we had two items in our "updated" tour:

 [[Image(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-
 attachment/ticket/29768/security-update-8.5.png, 700px)]]

 Thoughts? We would need a new image for the "Toolbar" page (or we could
 remove the image). And all of the copy needs work.
