------------------------------------------+--------------------------
In Tor Browser 7.0.10 (and earlier too, see below), if I open a local page
via `file://` only the HTML is rendered, but images are broken and CSS
isn't applied at all. For Tails this breaks several important features,
like reading the local copy of the documentation (e.g. when offline) and
the start page for our Unsafe Browser.
This breakage started earlier, and it is a bit "interesting":
* Tor Browser 7.0.7 is the last ok release (both images and CSS loads).
* Tor Browser 7.0.7 -> 7.0.8 only upgrades Torbutton 1.9.7.8 -> 1.9.7.9
which only updates some translations + fixups on the donation banner. That
is somehow enough to break images on local pages (but CSS is still fine).
Disabling Torbutton makes the images work again.
* Tor Browser 7.0.8 -> 7.0.9 only fixes #24052 ("Streamline handling of
file:// resources") which breaks both images and CSS. I say "both" despite
the previous bullet indicating that Torbutton is responsible for breaking
images, because disabling Torbutton no longer fixes image loading in this
version. So it indeed seems that the fix for #24502 alone breaks both CSS
and images.
