 Replying to [comment:31 mrphs]:
 > That decision has a very clear message, and that is to Mozilla that
 .onion users aren't supposed to use Firefox for their business and they
 should stick to Tor Browser.

 What?  The only thing that signals is "Mozilla gives lip service to an
 RFC", and "Firefox as an application does not implement the Tor protocol"
 (RFC 7686).  Nothing more, nothing less.

 > We're fixing a problem of not seeing an update coming and thinking what
 it means for our users.

 What you're proposing is blurring the line between a CA cert signed site
 over TLS, and `.onion`, which isn't something that should be done lightly.
 "The problem of having reactionary UX instead of a pro-active one.".
