#29955: Final Orfox update -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sysrqb | Owner: tbb-team Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor | Version: Browser | Keywords: ux-team, tbb-mobile, Severity: Normal | TBA-8.5, TorBrowserTeam201903, | tbb-8.5-must Actual Points: | Parent ID: #27399 Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29955> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
