Comment (by towiw3):

 When home button is long-pressed, Fennec is opened and a new tab is
 loaded. It appears to be using the Assist app permission only for opening
 Fennec and loading a new tab from anywhere. But still it is a dangerous
 permission. If Google apps are not installed and there is no other Assist
 app, TBA automatically becomes the Assist app.
