Thanks for your reply on #tor-dev wrt. which patches we should drop if
we wanted *not* to call our browser "Tor Browser": FTR you suggested
we only drop the Rebrand-Firefox-to-TorBrowser patch, and we keep
applying the mozconfig one. This is already what we do, and the result
is a browser that calls itself "Tor Browser", so I'm afraid this is
not an option. If you think we have to *not* call our browser this
way, I guess I'll have to try dropping the mozconfig patch too.

More importantly, I've not seen any reply from you on the "how
annoying [...]" question above. I plan to build our browser based on
24.2.0esr at some point during the week-end. Without any answer on
this topic, I'll assume it's fine that we call our browser "Tor
Browser", at least for one Tails release, and I will avoid fiddling
with the branding at the last minute.

Cheers,
