Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:115 acat]:
 > Thanks for the reviews! Here are the revised patches:
 https://github.com/acatarineu/tor-browser/commit/21952+5 and
 https://github.com/acatarineu/torbutton/commit/21952+1. I took the
 suggested string changes for now, let's wait for the final string review.

 The changes look good. Just two comments:
 * UX: Now that clicking "Always Prioritize Onionsites" flips the pref for
 me, I expect that the redirect will be followed for that page without me
 doing more. Would it surprise people too much if we did that or would it
 be an improvement?
 * Kathy and I expected that `privacy.prioritizeonions.showNotification`
 would default to `true` to indicate that the notification should be
 displayed. That is what I meant in comment:111 when I said "reverse the
 meaning."
