Comment:

 The backported patches look good to me (you even made sure all the typos
 stayed in place ;) ). I think this is fine for the alpha and I applied
 them to tor-browser-38.4.0esr-5.5-1 (commits
 c429e391927b9f6462274c5a7b51cf66cd253ddf and
 f90a87efb57f9e2fd7f3b23e812af721f092a733).

 Would you look into whether we are fine with pinning the certs for the
 updater as well given that Mozilla is pinning them, too, but is still
 claiming they don't want the update breaking if MITM proxies are tampering
 with TLS?
