 for users is the bridge configuration moved to the `about:perferences`
 page, yet that is not mentioned on the Tor Network settings text. I am
 inclined to think we should focus on that part both in slide one and two
 when the network is concerned. I somehow doubt users understand what they
 should do with the Tor Network settings thing and how this relates to the
 old Torbutton bridge/proxy configuration we had.

 censored users who need bridges at the moment but it is a required step
 for the next iteration improvements. Why? Because users who cannot connect
 to Tor during the bootstrap cannot open about:preferences#tor settings;
 the main browser window didn't load yet. In this release, that critical
 flow will still have Tor Launcher and it will not change.

 Settings]."

 Makes sense. What I had in mind when writing my comment was that I know
 users are configuring different bridges when they e.g. realize the
 currently used one is getting too slow or unreliable and the bridge
 settings has been the most important part of the tor settings that gets
 moved. So, they would in particular miss that point in the onboarding
 update if we just mentioned Tor network settings in general.
