New description: We need to move away from our XPCOM extensions, Tor Launcher being one of them. As for Tor Browser it might be hard/impossible, if we tried to reimplement everything Tor Launcher does with the WebExtensions API. Instead we plan to integrate it tighter into the browser itself making use of its capabilities. This ticket is the parent ticket for this plan. We need probably a proposal making sure we have the plan right before going to implement it. -- Comment (by gk): Nice! Have you by chance tried testing the mechanism you are using for integrating Tor Launcher into the browser in, say, some recent-ish mozilla-central build? It might be worth it in order to figure out whether we could do more work already now in case there are unanticipated problems with our migration plan for esr68. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28044#comment:14> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
