Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:
 > Do we want that for 8.0.1? I am a bit wary to break things while
 switching to `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL`. What we should do at any rate is looking
 at the differences `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL` is causing and check whether the
 current status of Tor Browser 8 (i.e. not setting it) is problematic. If
 not, then we could give it a round of testing in 8.5a2 maybe? If we think
 we are good got 8.0.1, though, I am happy to take it for that point
 release.

 Whether to take this for 8.0.1 is a difficult decision. Looking at the
 following, I am more concerned about the lack of `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL` than
 what will happen if we enable it:
 https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr60/search?q=MOZILLA_OFFICIAL

 For example, `browser/base/content/browser-development-helpers.js` is
 loaded, which adds a surprising "restart the browser now" shortcut key of
 Ctrl+Alt+R (Cmd+Alt+R)on macOS).

 On the other hand, we have probably made all ESR60-based Tor Browser
 builds so far without it, so there may be some unexpected problems :(

 Maybe that argues for trying it in 8.5a2.
