 As changes to the security slider are persistent across re-launches of
 TorBrowser could we get an indicator that displays what the current
 security slider level is?
 Its tedious to have navigate to the security slider settings every time to
 check especially if you change this setting a lot for different sites.


 I mocked up some examples where the the TorButton color changes from green
 to yellow to red? Perhaps red, yellow green is too dramatic?

 Maybe something more sublte might be to vary the saturation of the green
 color on the Tor button? Brighter green = higher security.
 Or maybe a small letter beside the TorButton? Or a combination of both? or
 something else entirely?

 It would be helpful to see at a glance what level the Security Slider is
 set to.
