 Replying to [comment:111 mcs]:
 > Here are some UX and code-related comments for the `21952+4` branch from
 Kathy and me:
 > * UX: The "Onion Services" and "Onion Services Authentication" sections
 are not near each other within about:preferences#privacy. Is that okay or
 should we move one of them?

 I think Onion Services first makes sense. We can group Onion Services Auth
 with Logins and Passwords. The list may look like:

 1. Onion Services
 2. Cookies and Site Data
 3. Logins and Passwords
 4. Onion Services Auth
 5. History
 6. Address Bar

 > * UX: Should clicking the "Always Prioritize Onions" option flip the
 pref as well as take the user to about:preferences? It surprises us that
 clicking it does not carry out the action.

 Ideally, yes. There is also a highlight animation when the preferences get
 open. The behavior is the same when users click `Advanced Security
 Settings` in the toolbar icon.
