1964497 - Remove some Firefox features when we're being used via Android Automotive

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

We had a partner reach out about putting Firefox in cars.

We were able to make some simple modifications, like adding the right flag in our manifest, but they've made a few suggestions we should do so we work better in cars:

1. Remove QR reader in URL bar.
2. Remove printing functionality

Here's how we would detect android automotive:

val pm: PackageManager = requireContext().packageManager
val isAutomotive = pm.hasSystemFeature("android.hardware.type.automotive")
       if (isAutomotive) {
           // App is running on Android Automotive OS
       }else{
           // App is not running on Android Automotive OS
       }

Note this is NOT Android Auto, this is Android Automotive.
