Comment (by mikeperry):

 Ok, I have merged the firefox patches to origin/tor-browser-24.1.1esr-1. I
 merged the descriptor update to mikeperry/ff24-staging, along with a
 couple other fixes I needed to get it to build. It is in the process of
 building right now, but it seems fine so far. I'll post another update
 after I try it out on my mac.

 We still need to fetch and authenticate the new compiler, though. At this
 point, fetching the compiler binary from dropbox seems fine (if we can get
 a stable URI for it). After we get something working reliably, we can then
 work on building it from a gitian descriptor (preferably an independent
 one dedicated to just the build tools we need, a-la #10120).
