Description

The work needed to migrate to FF31 is very different, depending on whether we switch to Tor browser, or update our current custom package once again.

So, given that the work I’ve done so in feature/tor-browser-bundle, can we close this ticket with the answer “Yes, let’s do it!”?

I’m tempted to say yes, but I think it would be more reasonable to do it only after having filed the tickets about what’s left to do.

Let’s say we’ll go ahead, somehow :)

I should add: my main rationale for closing this ticket is that we have not started at all any kind of work to migrate to Iceweasel 31ESR, so going the TBB way seems to be safer, as the problems we may run into will be a bit more self-contained (as opposed to spread everywhere on the filesystem / dependency tree / etc.), and (hopefully) most of them will be dealt with already by the Tor Browser team.
