 https-everywhere xpi in Orfox. I can create a public repo somewhere. The
 steps documented in comment:10 are exactly how I created this xpi. The
 most important step is deleting the updateURL (but leaving the
 <em:updateURL> tags). We must delete the manifest because the signature is
 no longer valid. I know, this is sad.

 I think we should not spend our time fixing this problem as this is
 supposed to go away with transitioning to Tor Browser for Android.

 The patch looks good. I cherry-picked it onto `tor-
 browser-52.7.3esr-8.0-1` (commit
 e3effb933616512282e0047d56ed0087cce702a6).
