[tor-bugs] #10216 [TorBrowserButton]: Add a Torbutton pref to disable the Tor check
#10216: Add a Torbutton pref to disable the Tor check
--------------------------------+---------------------------

--------------------------------+---------------------------
The `test_enabled_pref` branch on git://git.tails.boum.org/torbutton adds
a `test_enabled` pref, that allows one to entirely disable the Tor check
feature. Please consider merging into Torbutton.
Since the new check.torproject.org was put online, the remote check fails
for us (the browser console reports `Torbutton WARN: Test failed! No
TorCheckResult element`), and I don't find it important enough to bother
fixing the backend (or the set of ugly kludges we were using to workaround
bugs and have the Tor check work while disabling the version check): even
if the proxy settings were wrong, we still have the firewall to prevent
going out in the clear, and we would have to customize about:tor to make
it useful for Tails users without bothering Tor support folks.
