Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:40 acat]:

 `onionNetError.jsm`:

 that the stylesheet is not added for non-onion errors).

 Good catch. We will move it and post a revised patch once we receive
 review comments from Richard.

 > * Can't we just do `ld.textContent = longDescription.replace("%S",
 hexErr);` instead of using `innerHTML` (and remove the eslint-disable), or
 `longDescription` may contain HTML?

 Mozilla sometimes uses HTML in the long description; we essentially copied
 this code:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 browser.git/tree/browser/base/content/aboutNetError.js?h=tor-
 browser-68.6.0esr-9.5-1#n233

 Since we are not currently using any markup in that field we could use the
 `textContent` property. Or we could keep it as we wrote it and match
 Mozilla. What do other people think?
