Comment (by sysrqb):

 Replying to [comment:5 sysrqb]:
 > Fennec currently requests/requires a large set of permissions. We should
 be able to reduce this. If we include the permissions requested by Fennec
 (base) and GeckoView, they are:
 >
 Plus GCM (Google Cloud Messaging), and Orfox already excludes these, too:

 {{{
 com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
 }}}

 There are other GCM permissions requested when MOZ_ANDROID_GCM is defined,
 but we don't define it, so I'm not including them in this list (see
 `GcmAndroidManifest_services.xml.in`).
