 > For b) we usually have the bundling step (i.e. the tor-browser project).
 If that's not going to work (Is that the case? If so, why?) for Android
 (which would mean reopening the .apk we got in the firefox step and
 putting the extensions into place after building them if needed) we need
 to find a way doing that in the firefox build step and could do just the
 renaming in the tor-browser step.

 However doing that in the firefox build means we need to rebuild firefox
 to update the extensions, so if that's possible, doing it in the `tor-
 browser` step would be better.

 It looks like .apk files are zip files, so I'm wondering if extracting
 them and adding the extensions in the right directory before rezipping the
 .apk file would work, or if there is something more needed.
