Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I have been looking at this ticket and #19273. Our current
 leaning is to integrate the Tor-specific warning text into Firefox's
 dialog (using a XUL overlay). We will also need to make some small changes
 to the core browser code to ensure that all actions default to "Always
 ask" for external files and protocols. Here is a mockup:

 What do other people think of this approach?
