Comment:

 As a prerequisite for #24856 and #25260, I think we can concentrate on
 getting this working. I have a branch with some small changes, and it
 works - except firefox does not read the default prefs
 (defaults/preferences/prefs.js). I'm investigating that now.

 We may not need #25260 - The directory structure we currently use in Tor
 Browser works with FF60, too. But I'll keep #25260 open until we are
 certain we don't need it for the Android build. For testing I built
 Arthur's 25543+7 branch (`./mach configure/build/package`):
  - Created a new xpi (`make package`) from the below branch
  - Untarred the newly built firefox built from Arthur's branch
  - Copied the TorBrowser/ dir from a 7.5.3 release
  - Copied new version of `libstdc++.so.6` into TorBrowser/Tor/ (I copied
 the system install I have `/lib64/libstdc++.so.6` - libxul needs a newer
 version than the version included with 7.5.3)
  - Copied the new TorLauncher xpi into the profile
 (`firefox/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/extensions/tor-
 launcher at torproject.org.xpi`)
  - Copied start-tor-browser from the 7.5.3 release, commented out
 FONTCONFIG_PATH and FONTCONFIG_FILE
  - Run `./firefox/start-tor-browser -v -l`

 There are a few errors from torbutton, but I think igt0 has patches for
 (some of) them already. I haven't see any problems with
 nsIScriptableDateFormat, but it's worth making the change mcs mentioned.

 Branch 25750 on git.tp.o/user/sysrqb/tor-launcher.git
