Comment (by asn):

 Replying to [comment:9 mcs]:
 > Kathy and I have been exploring whether we can use Mozilla's
 notifications module (`toolkit/modules/PopupNotifications.jsm`) to
 implement the onion services authentication prompt. This would produce a
 doorhanger and would look a lot like the password manager's prompts. Here
 is a mockup:

 approach?

 > A side note: if it is important, we can move the "Learn more…" link up
 near "Onion Authentication"; we get it "for free" in the location shown
 because that is how Mozilla positions it within their other prompts.


 Yes I think this is totally an acceptable approach. And I was not aware of
 the line-of-death issue but it does make sense.
