 Replying to [comment:6 eighthave]:
 > Any chance of the exit functionality being brought back from Orfox?  I'm
 currently in the process of a maintenance round for the panic stuff, and
 saw that TBA reports itself as supporting a panic trigger, but does not do
 anything in response.  It should either stop claiming that it supports a
 panic trigger, or it should do something.  To stop claiming, the panic
 stuff just needs to be removed from the AndroidManifest.xml.

 Huh. I agree, but it should work. We specifically decided we'd include it
 at the beginning and we could reconsider it later. The same functionality
 was ported from Orfox into Tor Browser - but admittedly it wasn't tested.

 We did tweak the impementation a bit, so maybe that broke it. I'll need to
 dig into this a bit more.
