 Well, I want to have e10s everywhere Mozilla has it as well. But right now
 we compile with `--disable-sandbox` and I am not sure what happens in that
 case. They seem to be intertwined in the sense that we don't get e10s
 without compiling the sandbox in. So, I guess even though we enable e10s
 for the same user group as Mozilla it will silently fail on Windows unless
 we get the sandbox compilation fixed?
