The new bootstrap on Android breaks if the browser goes in background

STR:

  1. Open Tor Browser
  2. Click on Connect
  3. The connection starts
  4. Switch to another application or to the launcher
  5. Go back to the browser when it's supposed to be finished
  6. Notice that the progress bar has disappeared (so the browser should be bootstrapped)
  7. Click on cancel
  8. Clicking again on connect isn't possible (haven't checked the logs, but I guess it's already in the connected state, so it won't go there again)
We got the multimedia support!

Tested in the emulator with a fresh nightly, but I encountered the same bug in the current alpha on my Pixel 4a.
