Great!

Your way is much nicer so let's leave it.

Oh, and regarding commit d45c28e, the I2P bookmarks should be completely
removed from the Tor Browser (completely removed, in other words).

Filed as: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7970 and optimistically
assigned to you.

Torbutton is shown with a red X on it, which looks scary. I wonder if
the misconfiguration causing it puts Torbutton in a state in which some
important defence/feature is disabled, or if it's just an indication of
misconfiguration. Any way, we don't want to show the button at all
because the "New feature" thing won't work and hence will be misleading.
If you set `extensions.torbutton.inserted_button = true` it will be hidden.

So, I suggest the following patch, which I verified works; it both makes
configures Torbutton so that it doesn't show the X, *and* it removes the
button... pedantic, perhaps, but at least we don't have to worry about
the the question about Torbutton disabling features in the "red X"
stateu. :)

After these things are fixed, and the user documentation has been
upgraded at `wiki/src/doc/anonymous_internet/i2p.mdwn`, I believe it's
ready to be merged.

Again, great work!

Cheers!
