 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 it's 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.
