We have a toolkit compatibility entry, any idea why it isn't working? Probably
because we have an explicit entry matching the current app? Then maybe removing
the Fennec entry from the Adblock Plus build would be sufficient.

Note that this pref won't work for a release build.

Well, giving the browser a different app ID and adjusting
extensions.minCompatibleAppVersion does make ABP pass the compatibility check.

However, as discussed in the card
(https://trello.com/c/kGF3T6rx/54-change-the-app-id), ABP doesn't actually work
if we change the app ID, I'm afraid we'd have to make changes we don't want to
make right now.
