Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version:
Severity: Major | Keywords: tbb-security

------------------------------------------+--------------------------
First, Mozilla fixed VS2015 compilation https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
central/rev/e597b8795fbe
Second, Jacek "fixed" ffvpx compilation on mingw. And it became
incompatible with UCRT on mingw (Jacek, don't do that again!)
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5680a55b2ec1
Third, Mozilla dropped support for building with Visual Studio 2013
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186064 in Firefox 50. But
not only that! They started vigorously removing all their patches for it!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1277155 and almost all other
compatibility shims/workarounds were removed before ESR52.
