 Replying to [comment:20 igt0]:
 > I followed the same approach in the #25260, torbutton will work as a
 feature extension, so we still need to change the browser adding it as a
 subdirectory(git submodule?).

 Hi, Igor -- do you think torbutton could continue to be built
 independently inside the torbutton.git repo, and then copied as an .xpi
 into the Tor Browser Bundle by tor-browser-build.git? I'm wondering if can
 avoid adding the gecko build infrastructure.

 it work with the mozilla central code base(few things changed and others
 are deprecated).
