is just showing the security setting description + a call to action in the
case the user wants to change it. So if the user wants to change the
security setting, they should go to `about:preferences` to upgrade or
downgrade their setup.
This makes it much more impractical, you have to go to a new tab with
`about:preferences` just to change the security slider and it has the
unintended side effect of making the user think that it's 'okay' to mess
with stuff on `about:preferences`.
