Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:30 gk]:
 > I think the reason Tor Launcher is in the `browser` dir is that we don't
 have a Tor Launcher on Android (and won't have one), thus it is desktop-
 specific. While that's not the case for Torbutton (even though we don't
 use the tor-browser version for desktop yet).

 I don't remember all of the reasons, but one reason we put the Tor
 Launcher code under browser/extensions is because we were following the
 example of other built-in "extensions" such as pdfjs.

 that would need to be fixed, since the XPI would not be there. But I
 wonder if this code is still needed since `general.useragent.locale` pref
 is not there anymore (was moved to `intl.locale.requested`).

 I think it is a bug that that code still uses `general.useragent.locale`.
 When we integrate Torbutton or its code into the tor-browser repo, we need
 to decide what to do for localization. The code in nsAppRunner.cpp can
 probably be simplified if we can assume that Torbutton's locale files are
 always present.
