 [...]" and try to save it without adding any bridges, a pop-up comes up
 saying: ''You haven't added any bridges, this will disable "My ISP blocks
 connections to the Tor network." Do you really want to do this? Yes / No''

 option here? If not, why provide them the option of saying "Yes"? Should
 they have the option to save this setting without configuring any bridges?
 If not, the pop-up should say something like (and I recommend not taking
 this verbatim): ''You haven't added any bridges so this setting will not
 be saved.'' Then return them to the UI, with the box unchecked.

 Ok, we can say this:
 {{{
 You haven't added any bridges. Do you want to add one?
 WARNING: If you click "No" the option "My ISP blocks..." will be disabled
 Yes|No

 Yes: displays the settings.
 No: disables "My ISP ..." and saves everything.
 }}}

 settings entirely. If it's agreed that this should be a yes/no question,
 saying "Yes" should return you to the settings UI just like "No" does.

 It's a matter of how the question was phrased. But I agree that for the
 rushed user that just clicks without reading it will be a safer option to
 make "Yes" return to the settings panel.
