Comment:

 Okay, we are getting close, just the following comments/remarks are left:

 commit 0b932f895e3b2866161048a6007e61e257dc395b -- not okay

 There is no need for a `--enable-install-strip` as we already strip
 everything with `--enable-strip`.

 commit 408e63083f15d59c98fee619a277dfe123429d8c -- not okay

 we should follow the Android version as used in the resist fingerprinting
 mode, see:

 https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr60/source/browser/components/resistfingerprinting/test/browser/browser_navigator.js

 I.e. "Android 4.1.0" > "Android 6.0" which is way more popuplar than 4.1.0
 as well.

 commit 7bc689d797439d6394853e421f71eda5d7d1631a -- not okay

 +import android.content.IntentFilter; <- seems to be something not used
 (probably part of the NetCipher upgrade on the previous branch?)

 `checkStartOrbot()` came before `processTabQueue()` before (and the if-
 clause around `!mHasResumed` got deleted). Doesn't the order matter here?
 (I don't know just for double-checking)
