Comment:

 okay, I gave it a whirl and it looks good to me with some nits addressed:

 1) What is the scope of `count`? It seems to me we could rewrite
 {{{
     if (Services.prefs.prefHasUserValue(shownCountPref)) {
       count = Services.prefs.getIntPref(shownCountPref);
     } else {
       count = 0;
     }
 }}}
 into
 {{{
     let count = 0;
     if (Services.prefs.prefHasUserValue(shownCountPref)) {
       count = Services.prefs.getIntPref(shownCountPref);
     }
 }}}
 2) s/that stop observing/that stops observing/

 3) We put in the translations early to give translators time to produce
 the properly localized strings for non en-US Tor Browser versions. Yet the
 code is only concerned with en-US bundles anyway. What is the plan here
 then? Don't we want to ship 6.0.6 with the donation banner enabled for as
 many users as possible (this is more a needs_information point as I am not
 sure whether we should fix the code or not)?
