Comment (by muelli):

 The following manifest seems to work for me:

 {{{
 app-id: org.torproject.browser

 runtime: org.gnome.Platform
 runtime-version: "3.32"
 sdk: org.gnome.Sdk

 command: launch.sh

 finish-args:
   - --socket=x11
   # - --share=ipc
   - --share=network

 modules:
   - name: torbrowser
     buildsystem: simple
     build-commands:
         - install -D Browser/browser/chrome/icons/default/default64.png
 /app/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/org.torproject.browser.png
         #- install -D Browser/start-tor-browser.desktop
 /app/share/applications/org.torproject.browser.desktop
         - sed -i s,Icon=torbrowser,Icon=org.torproject.browser,
 torbrowser.desktop
         - sed -i "s,Exec=torbrowser-launcher %u,Exec=/app/bin/launch.sh,"

 I build with `flatpak-builder --user --install --ccache --keep-build-dirs
 --force-clean -v  --repo=/var/tmp/fb.repo fpbuilder
 org.torproject.browser.yml`.
 I'd love to build from source, but I haven't had much success with that in
 the past.



 is anyone from upstream interested in co-maintaining the package on
 Flathub if it gets accepted?
