For now I’m leaving Feature #15530 on anonym’s plate (he wants one FT ticket on his plate). Depending on the progress in a month we’ll keep it this way or I’ll share this work with segfault.

We have a plan! I still need 2 bits of info to be 100% confident in this plan:

  • will we have to deal with Tor Launcher XUL ext disappearing? (Bug #14555)
  • does the test suite expose big issues? (Feature #15701)

I’ll try to gather the answers by tomorrow night.
