Comment (by mcs):

 Very nice work. I have these additional comments:
 * In browser/base/content/browser.js, a space is missing after the `if`
 here: `if(this._isEV) {`
 * In dom/security/nsMixedContentBlocker.cpp, a space is missing after the
 `if` here: `if(NS_FAILED(rv)) {`
 * Should we remove the comments and meta data (title, desc, defs) from the
 SVG files?
 * In browser/base/content/pageinfo/security.js,
 dom/security/nsMixedContentBlocker.cpp, and
 security/manager/ssl/nsSecureBrowserUIImpl.cpp: is it safe to assume the
 host name is lower case? The browser seems to switch `.ONION` to `.onion`
 when I try to use the former but I don't know why that happens.
