So android-ndk from tooltool does only bundle platform v9, not v19 that we need :/

Honestly, no. This isn't a good idea. Using the NDK for building means that we don't have to care about build scripts in most places. Now we have to keep this in sync with whatever Firefox for Android needs.

For a 'real' solution, rather print a good error message, or try to autodetect and download Firefox' dependency.
