 Well, take a look at a vanilla NoScript .xpi and you'll find it in the
 preferences file which it includes.

 that mode, we also want https: in the whitelist
 (`capability.policy.maonoscript.sites`).

 Okay, I think I've addressed this issue and a working checkbox/custom mode
 is contained in bug_9387_test_02 as well. What is still missing is:

 -tooltips/help buttons explaining the security levels
 -preferences for disabling SVG and MathML (#12827 and #13548)
 -the test mentioned in comment:57
 -thinking about some custom settings corner cases (Should they be
 preserved during New Identity? Should they be reset during start-up?)
