Comment:

 Okay, finally. Looks good to me and I am happy to see my crazy workaround
 going. I made a fixup commit removing the remaining bits from my #9901
 patch we don't need anymore (7dd710152955bd4145814c8bafed3b50dfacff75 on
 torbutton master). mcs' and brade's patches are commit
 6d5dc7845579ca99d9c46d921876e477ba60935f on torbutton master and commit
 4b7123f235465f26052ea0dfaeebb590a3f31e0f on tor-browser-45.2.0esr-6.5-1.

 This will be in the next alpha for broader testing. I expect this will
 help with usability things like #18090 as well.
