Comment (by proper):

 I don't think this belongs into Tor Launcher. Does the design goal, do one
 thing and do it well apply here? Since Tor Launcher might become a
 [https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2014-January/004730.html
 standalone XUL app or also being used in Tails] some day (having it in
 Whonix some day would be interesting as well), I think having such a
 security slider is better in TorButton or even better in a separate add-
 on.

 Having a separate Firefox add-on has another advantage:
 Other users, non-Tor, security concerned users could use it as well.
 Websites owners would have to think twice if they are going to add
 features, which are blocked by a popular security add-on.
