Comment (by mcs):
I think it is the following patch that allows `meek-http-
helper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` to work in Tor Browser 8.x:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/commit/?h=tor-
browser-60.5.0esr-8.5-1&id=10e590c79b01b2a30db1f01a2112c8808696a6cf
I might be pleasantly surprised, but I suspect it will be challenging to
reimplement it as a Webextension while remaining compatible with the
existing external interface. For example, I don't think there is an easy
way to write to stdout. The Native Messaging API is another "tool" which
you might need:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-
ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging
I was hoping the new direction for the Tor Browser meek client would be to
stop using a real browser (but that assumes the TLS fingerprint spoofing
works well enough).
