 Orfox bundles NoScript and HTTPS-Everywhere as distribution extensions.
 The HTTPS-E version is old. Orfox contains NoScript Anywhere (NSA) 3.5a15,
 but it seems like this is still the latest version. We'll start using
 NoScript when we start using the WebExtensions version.

 Orfox uses HTTPS-Everywhere 5.2.20, so (at a minumum) we should bump this
 to 5.2.21 [0] (as gk mentioned in #19675 [1]). We should also test the
 WebExtensions version and decide if we should simply upgrade to version
 2018.3.13 (like Desktop).

 I think we should continue using the Orfox distribution, and we can move
 to a better solution during the rebase (and when we move to rbm).

 Orfox includes the tor-browser-settings [2] add-on, too, but that hasn't
 changed.
