 == Extensions ==
 I mean such things like:

  * Crash reporter
  * Javascript Debugger
  * GamepadAPI
  * Web app Sync
  * Health report
  * Social API
  * Firefox Devtools

 Things like Devtools can be just installed by user from Mozilla's addon
 repo. Spellcheck and pdf.js can be kept, I think.

 Why:

 Features like Health report or Crash reporter are Mozilla services and are
 unnecessary in Tor Browser.

 I agree that Tor Browser needs help pages, but redirect to Mozilla's site
 may be confusing for many users and even suggest that is Mozilla is
 officially associated with it.

 See how it was done in [http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/
 Firefox Light] and its [http://www.thewindowsclub.com/review-firefox-
 light-slimmed-version-firefox-browser news entry].

 == About box ==
 Our Tor Browser needs its own about box or about page. This dialog in
 present shape should be rewritten, has multiple issues:
 * Contains official Firefox logo, which is very confusing and probably
 violates the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/trademarks/policy/
 Mozilla Trademark Policy]
 * Tor Project label links to mozilla.org!
 * Other links should be corrected as well as above

 == Solution ==
 I think we can just make a custom build with removed things and modified
 about box.

 Hope you'll agree with me, thanks!
