 This is the {{{user.js}}}

 https://github.com/Whonix/tb-starter/blob/master/usr/share/torbrowser
 /security-slider-highest.js

 which we ended up using.

 Relevant settings:

 {{{
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.inserted_security_level", true);
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.security_slider", 1);
 }}}

 It will be copied to
 {{{$tb_browser_folder/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/user.js}}}
 for users who [https://forums.whonix.org/t/add-tor-browser-first-startup-
 popup-to-ask-whether-security-slider-should-be-set-to-
 safest/7591/9?u=patrick elect to enable this]. Functional.

 Does look alright?

 Might be a trigger for #31798?
