Comment(by gk):
Rereading the ticket description I was maybe a bit too fast in offering
you help to implement a modified Firefox update process. Instead, I could
look at the security trade-offs if that helps, dunno. Regarding the
time/effort to deploy it: As I do not know the time and effort to deploy
Thandy yet in all details I am only guessing but looking at the needed
patches of Firefox' update process and the .mar generation etc. I would
say modifying and deploying the Firefox update is much easier. I'll try do
add some document to this ticket within the next days detailing what needs
to get patched and describing the update process and the tools needed in
order to give you some facts to consider.
