Comment (by antonela):

 Thanks for the review folks!

 - Agreed about to keep the same strings so we can rely on our translation
 memory. Although, we could have a brief description for bridges and add
 the helper text at the learn more link which will go to the tor
 manual/support.tpo entry.

 - I think is better to have a different/specific section than General for
 Network Settings. Since we are Tor Browser, `Tor Network Settings` is a
 good name. Should we use the onion icon to refer to the Tor Network as
 well? or do we prefer a different icon? Currently,
 [https://design.firefox.com/icons/viewer/#, Firefox Icons] don't have a
 Network one.

 - If we keep Firefox's Network Settings in General Preferences, do we
 still need local proxy settings in `Tor Network Settings`?

 Based on your feedback, I made some mockups to visualize these settings:

 [A] shows an initial state without inline settings.

 [B] shows an initial state with inline settings disabled.

 [C] shows Tor Network Settings with Bridges selected. Should we open MOAT
 in an overlay? Should we have inline settings for `Provide a bridge I
 know`?
