Details

(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged]) 

CP is not active on Android (since it is handled by the OS itself) and thus it never sends the "clear" signal and internal code that assumes one will malfunction (see example Bug 1452616).

We could either use the Android check as signal and then send the ordinary CP clear message, or we might even use working HTTPS to any source as a clue that CP is fine. To avoid us having to add specific knowledge to code paths about it being Android or not.
