    Bug 31491: clean up the old meek http helper browser profiles
    
    On Linux and Windows, arrange for the updater to remove the old
    meek and moat http helper profiles by adding appropriate directives
    to browser/installer/removed-files.in (on macOS, the cleanup will
    be done by Tor Launcher).

+#ifndef XP_MACOSX
+# Tor Browser no longer uses http helper profiles for meek and moat.
+# For macOS, the profiles are created under TorBrowser-Data and
+# Tor Launcher takes care of removing them during browser startup.
+# For Linux and Windows, the profiles were embedded in the install
+# directory and, if meek or moat was ever used, extra files that
+# were not part of the browser package will have been created within
+# the profile directories. The following two lines cause "rmrfdir"
+# directives to be added to our MAR files to cause the updater to
+# recursively remove these profile directories and everything in them.
