 The code looks okay but Kathy and I have a couple of questions:
 * Why is the delay before showing the prompt only imposed for about:tor?
 * The old code only showed the prompt when the user accessed an HTTP page.
 The new code will show it at startup on about:tor, which seems like a less
 friendly "first run" experience (mostly because the prompt will cover up a
 lot of the about:tor content). Are we okay with this change in behavior?
