    Closes #4976: Reuse Fennec launcher entry in manifest. · aa49ab1d
    Sebastian Kaspari authored
    With this patch Fennec users, who upgrade to Fenix, will not lose Firefox launcher icons they
    have added to their home screen.
    
    A side effect of this change is that the launcher entry for existing Fenix users may disappear
    from the home screen for existing Firefox Preview users and they will have to re-add it.
    Since the Preview audience is more accepting of breaking changes and since that group is
    way smaller than the millions of Fennec users, I think that this is an acceptable breaking
    change. I looked into supporting multiple launcher entries in parallel, but that got quite
    complex with multiple build types and multiple manifest files. Especially if we decide
    to keep a Firefox Preview build around (e.g. org.mozilla.fenix) then it would be good to
    unify on a single launcher and do that as early as possible.
