 > Looking over the screenshots four things come to mind:

 > 1) You write "Now, you can ask for a new identity using the toolbar
 button" but there is non visible on the images next to the text. We might
 want to have on there, though, given the new feature?
 Right. Ideally, we should highlight the icon at the toolbar. I'll update
 those assets.


 > 2) I think we should take the lesson from #30560 into account (see how
 we changes the images there)
 Yes. Indeed, we are having it in consideration by removing any letters at
 the illustration.

 > 3) I don't understand the image on the Tor Network slide (slide 2) next
 to the text. What are the symbols meant to convey? Why do we have the 3
 circles on the lower right?
 That image is illustrating TB9 about:preferences. The 3 circles at the
 lower right are decorative. We can remove those if they adds unwanted
 noise.


 > 4) The big feature pospeselr is working on and that is most relevant 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.

 I disagree. Net settings in about:preferences are not very useful for
 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.

 Altho, we can have a line that says "Now, Tor Bridges and local network
 settings can be configured in [about:preferences#tor, Tor Network
 Settings]."

 What do you think GeKo?
