Comment:

 FTR, Tails' "Unsafe Browser" is basically Tor Browser, with Torbutton
 disabled and a scary homepage. It would be nice if there were still a
 hidden way for us to disable Torbutton for that browser profile.
 Otherwise, we'll have to ship binaries for another browser, which will
 make our ISO and upgrade delta significantly bigger. In order to plan
 Tails work on this topic, I need to know whether it'll still be possible
 to disable Torbutton somehow, and if not, I would be very grateful to
 learn what's the timeline is here, e.g. whether the plan is to ship this
 change in Tor Browser 8.5. Thanks in advance! Please let me know if you
 need additional info from me to answer my questions :)
