Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:9 sisbell]:
 > The enableAapt2=false option results in a proguard error. So the current
 firefox build doesn't work out of the box with aapt2 disabled.

 I am not convinced yet we should go that route. It seems the move to
 `aapt2` might have helped in "fixing" unexplainable crashes. We should not
 risk getting those back if possible. We should maybe have hit those by now
 (and maybe users have but did not report) but, still, I am wary of
 switching back to the older tool.

 Could we downgrade the gradle plugin "easily" to an earlier version that
 was still good?
