Fennec (Firefox for Android) is being deprecated. It is no longer shipped out of mozilla-{release,beta,central}; it is instead shipped out of mozilla-esr68. This ticket tracks identifying and removing various Fennec-specific build system pieces, transforming --enable-application=mobile/android into GeckoView instead of Fennec + GeckoView.

This intersects a lot of things. Off the top:

  • Fennec-specific configure options
  • Fennec-specific bits in mach package
  • How GeckoView's omni.ja gets localized
  • The IsFennec() JNI function
  • Fennec-specific generated JNI wrappers
  • Fennec-specific Make targets for Gradle
  • The :app Gradle project
  • Removing mobile/android/{base,services,stumbler}, etc
  • Removing Robocop support from the tree
