I'm debating how we should do this. Ideally, we want to migrate all Orfox
users to TBA. In this ideal world, I would propose creating a very simple
app as a replacement for Orfox where this new app simply says something
like "Orfox is now Tor Browser for Android! Please install it from <app
store link>". We can detect if the device has the Play store or F-droid
installed and give the user one of the links. We can also offer a way to
migrate the users bookmarks from Orfox to TBA.
The real world is more complicated than the ideal world. I worry about
releasing an update of Orfox that completely replaces its current
functionality with a simple-migration-tool. However, realistically, no one
should be using Firefox 52esr now, so moving users away from that is
important. With that being said, people should have a choice.
One problem is we can't easily release a new version of Orfox (based on
52esr) because Google Play won't accept it due to stricter requirements
that went into effect last October. Therefore, we are in a not so great
situation with this.
