 While preparing the Tor Browser 8 release we ran into a number of issues
 with communicating with NoScript and getting the Security Slider to work
 (#26520, #27401, #27411). We should implement a better approach for
 communictaion. The currently best plan is outlined in
 comment:33:ticket:26520:
 {{{
 If we wanted to be absolutely sure, NoScript could be patched to listen
 for a "ping" and reply with a "pong". And then torbutton could repeatedly
 send "ping" (say, once a second) until it receives a "pong", and then
 proceed by sending the first updateSettings message.
 }}}
