-    Torbutton is the component in <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor
-    Browser Bundle</a> that takes care of application-level security
-    and privacy concerns in Firefox.  To keep you safe, Torbutton
-    disables many types of active content. You can learn more from

-    Some users may prefer a toolbar button instead of a statusbar panel.
-    Torbutton lets you add a toolbar button by right-clicking
-    on the desired toolbar, selecting "Customize...", and then dragging the
-    Torbutton icon onto the toolbar.  There is an option in the preferences
-    to hide the statusbar panel (Tools->Extensions, select Torbutton,
-    and click on Preferences).

-    Originally Torbutton was a 1-click way for Firefox users to enable or disable
-    the browser's use of <a href="<page index>">Tor</a>.
-    (It adds a panel to the statusbar that says "Tor Enabled" (in green) or
-    "Tor Disabled" (in red).  The user may click on the panel to toggle
-    the status.  If the user (or some other extension) changes the proxy
-    settings, the change is automatically reflected in the statusbar.) But
-    now that the <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser
-    Bundle</a> includes a patched version of Firefox, and because we don't
-    have enough developer resources to keep up with the accelerated
-    Firefox release schedule, the toggle model of Torbutton is <a
