 project). If that's not going to work (Is that the case? If so, why?) for
 Android (which would mean reopening the .apk we got in the firefox step
 and putting the extensions into place after building them if needed) we
 need to find a way doing that in the firefox build step and could do just
 the renaming in the tor-browser step.

 them and adding the extensions in the right directory before rezipping the
 .apk file would work, or if there is something more needed.
 >> To add assets, we can just use 'aapt add' command from the android SDK.
 We also need to make sure we resign the apk as part of a tor-browser step.
 We would do this with 'apksigner'.
