Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:31 6h72Q484AddGha8H]:
 > status on this? ready to deploy fix so the official meek-client can be
 added to Debian repos?

 meek-client-torbrowser has only gotten more tightly coupled to Tor
 Browser, with #18371, #18904, #19646. meek-client-torbrowser is unlikely
 now ever to work for ordinary Firefox.

 My advice is make a separate meek-client-wrapper or meek-client-debian or
 something, perhaps by forking an older version of meek-client-torbrowser.
 The code for it could be maintained in the Debian package (it's not much
 code) along with whatever xvfb or other auxiliary code Debian needs. I'm
 also willing to have a generic or Debian-specific in the main meek source
 tree, if that's better for the Debian maintainers.

 Another alternative is just to ignore the browser camouflage layer on
 Debian. That's what every other non–Tor Browser platform already does, as
 far as I know.
