Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:5300 Sebastian]:
 > We should probably pre-configure TBB to not have that popup show up and
 not transmit certificates to EFF.

 Agreed.

 (I think there's an argument to be made that Tor's users are well-situated
 to report cool ssl certificate variations, and help EFF save the world;
 but the right way to do that is for somebody we know to run a TBB
 configured to 'yes, report' and do some automated scanning. Not for every
 TBB user to by default do something they didn't opt in to.)
