Unable to start Tor: java.io.IOException: Control port file not created on Android 4.1.2
We still have users that have a busted Tor Browser experience as Tor can't get started on their device. This report stems for a user on IRC. They have Android 4.1.2 and get

On Android Armv7a Jelly Bean Emulator Instance I get a crash (so not even as far as the person who reported the tor startup issue). This is off of esr68 branch of the bug. This could just be an emulator issue since the older arm emulators are not well maintained.
So do we have any reports in the wild of crashes on Jelly Bean? I don't have access to google play crash logs but there could be something in there.

Then in the background I see the following crash, although the app itself does not crash. It looks to be some timeout but this could be due to the extremely slow nature of the arm emulator. I'll try with some x86 versions, since we have that now.

8.5.6 x86 version is working fine on emulator 4.1. So I'm not able to reproduce the issue that the user reported.
From this investigation, I'm a little suspicious that our esr68 version may have problems starting on Android 16 on arm due to the libmozglue.so failing to load.
What happens if you use a regular Fennec here?

What happens if you use a regular Fennec here? I'll test out this week if it works on emulator. I had a little trouble finding the activity name from the manifest (strange its not listed in aapt dump badging). So I need to dig into source code for it.
