Actually, www/firefox-esr is probably a better bet. There's less jumps
in features, and therefore opportunities to break SOCKS.

The problem is tracking TBB and keeping the patches applied cleanly,
assuming you build using the current TBB model.

One of the central criteria for success is the full fingerprint, and
whether it is identical to the official TBB.
