Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:4 mcs]:
 > It turns out that the default values for browser.startup.homepage and
 spellchecker.dictionary cannot be directly placed in a prefs file (such as
 defaults/preferences/
 > preferences.js within Torbutton). This is because the browser retrieves
 them using the getComplexValue() prefs API. So we must continue to use a
 level of indirection to a properties file.

 Given that a lot of our branding is in tor-browser/branding/official
 (icons for exmaple) and this is the place Mozilla has for such general,
 browser related things: what speaks against patching
 locales/browserconfig.properties to point to `about:tor` instead of
 `about:home`? This would leave all the implementation of that hompegae in
 Torbutton (which is fine to me), would use the same mechanism Mozilla has
 for these things, would omit an additional file in Torbutton and, above
 all, would avoid the localization problem.
