Comment:

 I rebased the Orfox commits on tor-browser-52.5.2esr-7.5-2. This includes
 all commits from orfox-tor-browser-52.2.0esr-7.0-1, but with some
 modifications.

 1) Rename .mozconfig-orfox as .mozconfig-android
 2) Align .mozconfig-android configuration with .mozconfig configuration
 3) Add comments on non-obvious configuration changes
 4) Bump Java JDK version from openjdk-7 to openjdk-8 (openjdk-7 is EOL)
 5) Bump Android NDK version from r11b to r11c (hash of r11c is published
 on the Android website, r11b's hash is not available)
 6) Verify sha256sum hash of downloaded SDK and NDK files match
 expected/published value

 There are a few outstanding changes that are needed:
 1) Compiling with tests enabled fails
 2) App crashes when running in an Android emulator (it does not crash when
 running on a device)
 3) Change the app name from Orfox to Tor Browser(?)
 4) We need more unit tests
 5) c823adc2da01ee47d50e03f1a5a4f14e661e8a2c adds a third-party extension,
 we need integrate its changes instead
 6) Audit mobile.js and confirm it matches browser.js
 7) Some of the commits add whitespace, we should clean before merging


 branch is tor-browser-52.5.2esr-7.5-2_attempt0_1 at
 https://github.com/sysrqb/tor-browser/tree/tor-
 browser-52.5.2esr-7.5-2_attempt0_1

 I have some more notes from my review, I will add them here after I think
 about them some more.
