Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:26 antonela]:
 > Also, current `about:preferences` at FF60 doesn't have a [SAVE] button
 to confirm the action. Do you think we need to add an intermediate step
 for users to verify their radio option pick? May we need it for anything
 else?
 Isn't it possible to emulate the current Torbutton behavior by launching a
 popup window instead of opening a new tab with `about:preferences` (and
 therefore exposing those other options that users shouldn't change to
 them)?
