 and then later we posted a pointer to what we thought was a better patch.
 The main difference between the two patches is where our hook is added
 (`nsExternalHelperAppService::DoContent()` vs.
 `nsExternalAppHandler::OnStartRequest()`). But you probably already knew
 that...

 Linux? We did not try it because we were hoping to find a fix for #21766
 as well, on all platforms.

 Yes, it works for me on Linux with a custom build. And your patch in the
 attachment makes the difference between a working and broken download (all
 other things are equal). And, probably of equal importance, it stops the
 "http channel Listener OnDataAvailable contract violation" message in the
 console as well. So, I am slightly optimistic for this ticket... I am
 doing some nightlies right now for better testing, having your fix on top
 of `tor-browser-52.1.0esr-7.0-2-build1`.
