 Actually, no. I see the problem with the STR in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303286.

 > > Looking at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1252068 it
 seems that gets only triggered if you modify some SSL related preferences?
 But somewhat surprisingly I can't reproduce this issue on my Linux box
 even when trying to follow the steps for the Q&A people in that Mozilla
 bug.

 hiding that button is a good idea.

 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303286, as it resets "SSL
 related preferences" to Tor Browser defaults.

 Oh, that's a good point. Thanks.
