 I think I am not convinced. Care to elaborate on that point in #21321?

 > 2) I thought a bit about whether I should open this ticket here or on
 their ticketing system and I decided here because regardless of their
 decision, this seems to be our responsibility to make sure within the Tor
 Browser, .onion sites are labeled correctly.

 We can have this conversation in #21321 as I think we can move both
 aspects forward (write a patch for Tor Browser in a way that it gets
 upstreamed to Mozilla and get Mozilla "convinced"). At least it would be
 useful to have both conversations in one place I think.
