 Good idea. Could you mention that in your commit message as well?

 The Torbutton changes look good to me. For the `tor-browser` ones I have
 some nits:

 1) Please change
 {{{
 +    if (currentTorVersion < 1) {
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 +    if (currentTorVersion < 1 && gSavedState.placements) {
 }}}
 to follow the pattern in the code block (and checking for `placements` is
 good in itself).

 2) We have a shortcut for the New Identity button. Could you add that one
 to the tooltip, too? It's done for the reload button in Firefox and seems
 to be a good idea.

 Otherwise we are good.
