 about:tor page shows a scrollbar (unlike the previous ones), the
 underlining issue is still not solved of course.

 Interesting, thanks. What about we just get rid of the notification bar
 and assume the onboarding we implemented is now responsible for
 highlighting the security slider to users? Back then we just used the
 clumsy notification bar approach because we did not have a new
 feature/general onboarding which would have been the ideal place for it.
 So, getting rid of it would a) streamline the onboarding and b) solve the
 root cause of this bug and c) would close #27184. I probably forgot some
 reasons for doing that. Antonela, what do you think?
