Comment:

 libdmns is not Android only.
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225726 makes it available
 for OS X as well. However, do to stability issues it got disabled by
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217807. That one in turn
 does not seem to affect Orfox, though. Thus, we have a non-preference
 approach backing basically the patches out that enabled mDNS on OSX and
 Android.
 bug_18221_v2 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_18821_v2) has it up for review.
