 Branch: bug25741_orfox_patches

 Current status: The branch is actively being rebased, so don't expect
 stability. The branch does not include any tor-browser patches. Most Orfox
 patches are updated/rewritten. This branch does not include Orfox patches
 that rely on Orbot. From tor-browser-52.7.3esr-8.0-1-build2, the Orfox
 patches currently excluded from the above rebase-branch are:

 }}}

 We still must audit the code and confirm its proxy-safe. Some of the other
 patches are specifically for Orbot capability, and right now it seems
 unnecessary to introduce those patches and resolve rebasing conflict, if
 torlauncher is a dependency for the first alpha.
