 As it stands, Tor Browser logs are fairly difficult for users to
 understand. We should write up a guide to help users understand their Tor
 Browser logs. Doing so will help users to diagnose connection issues with
 the browser.

 If possible, it would also be helpful if the logs could provide more
 information about what issues are occurring, or if users were presented
 with error messages that 1. indicated what issue they were experiencing,
 and 2. suggested a potential solution to that issue. These changes would
 give users more tools to solve small connection problems on their own, and
 also provide us with more information to go on when assisting users
 through RT/frontdesk and other lines of communication.
