 automatic sequence: open the menu, pause for a second or two, highlight
 `Security Settings...`, pause, and then open the settings dialog?

 Yes, something like that.

 > > Also, is interesting this behavior because the user needs to click on
 the highlighted menu to open the slider and this effort makes it memorable
 for the next time.

 > This is a good point. My concern with the proposed change is that people
 won't necessarily make the connection between the Torbutton toolbar icon
 and the open menu (Torbutton does not provide a connecting arrow or a
 persistent highlight of the onion icon). I suspect that is one of gk's
 concerns as well.

 Yep.
