 detect that you are using Tor."

 Look good! Thanks! cherry-pick'd into my master
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/isis/bridgedb.git/commit/792cfd99bb3a4d5a116202e76532232aba6e6312
 here] for the next deployment. (The cherry-pick was because it was only
 one commit, and there was a tiny bit of EOL whitespace.)

 Though, it seems that currently, for TBB-3.x, TorButton has no concept of
 bridges. Or, at least, I could find none in the preferences menu, nor in
 about:config. Perhaps there is some sekrit FF magic variable somewhere
 that I do not know of, but then I would wager that most users do not know
 of it either.

 So this is fine for TBB-2.x users, but might need to get changed again
 later.
