Comment (by cypherpunks):

 What if you make Tor pane optional as `register_module("paneSync",
 gSyncPane);`?
 {{{

 }}}
 Probably, no. Current implementation follows the GCC option override
 logic.
 {{{
 // weird and depends on inferring our scenario basd on some firefox prefs
 and the

 *about

 {{{

 `extensions.torlauncher.bridgedb_bridge.*`
 {{{

 }}}
 comma before "so" (from now on)

 rephrase

 }}}
 "No colon in the string" - that's all what was checked and can be thrown.

 heh
 {{{

 should explain in plain words what is a bridge and how it can help
 them."),
