The observer for this is the nsIContentPolicy:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/blob/HEAD:/src/components/cssblocker.js

example...

Unfortunately, the main reason I want to tear this old code out is because
it's rather convoluted and full of voodoo from toggle mode. You can get
some of the background in #1506 and the associated comments...
However, I think for the most part the content policy should be fairly
isolated. I think the New Identity parts won't break without it, they'll
just be setting some window tags they don't need to.
