#32119: onboarding for "Goodbye Onion Button" could be better

------------------------------------------+----------------------------
I recently upgraded to 9.0a8 and tried to follow the onboarding screens.
The "How to Request a New Identity" button seems to register the click and
release, but not do anything obvious. Only after a while did I notice that
the "broom" icon seemed to be outlined in pale turquoise and pulsing. (on
macOS 10.12.6; on Linux it seems to be a slightly more visible pale
turquoise with a non-pulsating but more visible turquoise border)
I think this is because the location of the "How to Request a New
Identity" button is too far away from the actual browser toolbar, so maybe
some more obvious animation or a doorhanger should be used?
Also the graphic on the right hand side of that onboarding screen seems to
be missing a few elements from the toolbar, such as the bookmark star, the
Security Level shield, and the search box. It's also not obvious to me
what the onion icon in the yellow circle is supposed to represent.
For some reason, on Linux but not macOS, clicking on text in the
onboarding screen activates a blinking vertical bar text insertion cursor
(but doesn't allow editing text).
