Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > 1) Using .onion on plain Firefox is indeed NOT secure and I think it is
 smart if Firefox > users get this warning in case they've proxied their
 browser to use Tor.

 Tor user should use Tor Browser. No exception.
 Using native Firefox with Tor will do some level of harm to user's
 privacy(firefox telemetry, sending computer information to mozilla
 servers, etc).
