 > This change fixes #21948 and #22525 as well, so it would be great to
 include it in a Tor Browser release soon. While the patch is somewhat
 large, that is mainly because we had to move a lot of code out of
 torbutton.js into the new aboutTor-content.js content script (so it can
 run in the content process where the about:tor DOM is accessible).

 Looks good to me, thanks! Just some nits:
 {{{
 +  // process that is only available here (in the chrome process). It is
 sent
 +  // sent to the content process when an about:tor window is opened and
 in
 }}}
 just one "sent"
 {{{
 +   kAboutTorMessages: [ "AboutTor:ChromeData", "AboutTor:ToolbarData" ],
 +
 +   get isAboutTor() {
 +    return content.document.documentURI.toLowerCase() == "about:tor";
 }}}
 Indentation

 "the Tor Button item's x coordinate" -> "the x coordinate of Torbutton's
 toolbar item"

 "torbutton toolbar item" -> "Torbutton toolbar item"
