Comment (by intrigeri):

 Replying to [comment:90 mikeperry]:
 > Perhaps it would be good to display a one-time ribbon (as in under the
 URL toolbar) that tells people that the green onion menu has lots of new
 features, including new security settings, and a new Tor Circuit Status
 display while websites are live.

 I agree a one-time ribbon is the best way to notify users about it.
 Better, it's in line with current GNOME HIG.

 Now, I would appreciate it if a pref allowed to disable this one-time
 ribbon, or if it was only displayed post-upgrades: otherwise, Tails users
 will see it every time they boot Tails and start Tor Browser, which would
 be a bit annoying.
