Comment:

 Actually, I think the doorhang UI is probably exactly what we want. We
 would probably default to leaving it disabled and let the user click the
 doorhang UI if they want mixed-content to load.

 Might get annoying with TBB's New Identity though (which clears site
 permissions). We probably would have to look into providing an option to
 protect site permissions for New Identity for TBB.
