 That's a bit of new code added to different places and I would be
 hesitating just shipping it in 9.0.1. But it seems it's mainly the
 mechanism used to hide Sync if it is disabled. Thus, this seems already
 tested quite a bit. So, this looks good to me and works for me, thanks!

 I put your code into proper fixup commits, though, this time. Please do it
 the next time, too (if there is anything that's worth a fixup commit and
 not a "real" one).

 Applied to `tor-browser-68.2.0esr-9.5-1` (commit
 5d24d4b6873de2da8afa7cba448905522311a4b8) and `tor-
 browser-68.2.0esr-9.0-1` (commit
 a339c6ec84d612d37eb409eca1b36706a89c9486).

 Please add your points.
