Comment:

 I am not sure that the "first stream on a new circuit is a url bar load"
 assumption is a good one. We may want to use a combination of
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIWebProgressListener and some tab
 switching events for this UI.

 HTTPS-Everywhere's "ApplicableList" code, as well as NoScript's UI
 plumbing are probably useful places to look to ensure that this UI gets
 cleared/updated properly on new URL bar loads and tab changes.
