Comment (by antonela):

 Thanks mcs and brade, it looks great! Will go inline:

 > * Our tor-browser changes do not support localization (see the many
 places that are marked with L10n). Kathy and I would like to understand
 our localization strategy in a post-Torbutton world before we work on L10n
 support.

 > * We need to insert the correct "Learn More" URL.
 Yes. I can coordinate it with the community team. The link should give
 users more info about why they need a key and how they can find it. Filed
 #31069 to make it happen.

 > * The text/copy will need some work. Some concepts are difficult to
 communicate clearly. For example, if the user enters a key of the wrong
 length or format, we currently show the somewhat cryptic validation error
 that is visible in the screenshot I posted.

 I was able to reproduce two kinds of errors: "Please enter a valid key"
 and "Unable to configure Tor with your key". Are more errors coming?

 Could we use a class to make those errors look more like an error? We can
 rely on the firefox suggestions ->
 https://design.firefox.com/photon/patterns/errors.html

 > * We need artwork for the onion icon that is used within the prompt (and
 if it would be better to do so, we could remove it). As a placeholder, we
 are using a plain onion image that we downloaded from
 https://media.torproject.org/image/Onion%20Icon/

 I think we can use Firefox's login/key icon. Do we want a custom icon
 here?

 > * We would like Antonela to give us feedback about the UX flow and
 overall experience. For example, while the prompt is displayed we show a
 blank page behind it. Is that okay?
 >

 I think the white page is good for now, I'll think more about it. We
 should have a better error page when users click "Cancel". I'll make sure
 we have it in consideration for #30025.

 > Using the above patches, we created some builds for testing. We used a
 tor daemon based on David's ticket30381_042_01 branch from
 https://git.torproject.org/user/dgoulet/tor.git (which includes the work-
 in-progress patches for both #30381 and #30382). Please look at the
 README.txt file that is in the same directory as the builds for a helpful
 tip about reducing your `SocksTimeout` setting.

 Thanks a lot for doing this!
