Comment:

 Thanks. One final thing. I am a bit wary to start collecting Firefox
 patches in `tor-browser-build`. While I think there could be an argument
 made for the #23231 workaround (who really is using plain tor-browser.git
 to cross-compile stuff for Windows??) I think it does not hold for the
 ASan case. We are shipping a `.mozconfig-asan` file and, in fact, if one
 uses Linux and wants to do dev work there is no need to use an `rbm` build
 for that. Thus, let's keep the workaround for #21925 in tor-browser.git.
 There should not be any breakage for the non-ASan series regardless the
 platform we compile for. And it would make the `tor-browser-build` patch
 simpler.
