Comment:

 Here is a patch:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug27486-01&id=86581f52952e4cb2480a161ae91d62d60f37da1a

 From the commit message:
  Instead of using a simple <a href>, programmatically open onboarding web
 pages by using tabBrowser.addTab(). The same technique is now used for
 "See My Path", "See FAQs", and "Visit an Onion".
