With Fennec there are a bunch of things that can be customized and multiple ways how Fennec can find and read those customizations. More on this wiki page:\r\nhttps://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Distribution_Files\r\n\r\nIt is likely that we want to have a way to support such customization in other mobile apps. It has at least come up for Focus. Partner installations almost always want to have something customized, even if it's just an additional default bookmark.\r\n\r\nWhat an app wants to customize may be app specific - however the approach to load, verify and notify components about customizations may be something we can write as a generic component.\r\n\r\nIt's likely that we do not want to just copy and support everything Fennec did. A new distribution implementation may allow us to get rid of some of the problems we had."}}
