Comment (by arma):

 I had thought the idea here was to drive an actual firefox to talk webrtc
 to the snowflakes. That way Tor users would be talking webrtc just like
 firefox, because it *would* be firefox. Rather than linking in a library
 and trying to call it in the same ways that Firefox calls it (and react to
 errors and network conditions etc in the same way that Firefox reacts).

 And we picked Firefox because "we already have one" in tor browser (though
 tor browser currently disables webrtc at compile time, but hey, nobody
 said this would be easy).

 So, kind of like how meek launches a browser and drives it to do the
 domain fronting connection.
