Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Well, it's hard to determine whether this spec is about the design goals
 or already implemented features only. So, should feedback be about design
 decisions or about current features only? Thus, let's start with both.

 Tor Browser user needs better handling of https sites, because now
 > the fact that he's wrong to think that closed padlock assures 100% of
 security.
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:OCSP-HardFail
 > we don't do OCSP fetching for intermediates unless the user configures
 several things in about:config.
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803582
 > firefox doesn't warn the user if SSL certificate lacks revocation
 checking info
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496661

 In the Security Slider section description of Medium Settings mentions
 that {{{media.webaudio.enabled}}} is used, but it was removed from the
 Firefox codebase long ago.
