Comment:

 We decided to close this one out in the end for the following reasons:

 1. firefox's current implementation makes a change like this a little
 tricky
 2. tor browser shouldn't make arbitrary prioritization decisions about
 alt-svc

 If website operators want their .onion to be preferred, then they can tell
 the browser that by only including a .onion or putting the .onion address
 first in the list
