Comment (by cypherpunks):

 It would be very useful if this networking process executed a file
 separate from torbrowser or plugin-processes, since then it could be given
 a separate domain/subject in MAC policy. The same goes for any process
 with different required privileges.

 I know nothing about Mozilla's planned design other than this ticket and
 the referenced bug. Perhaps someone with Mozilla's ear could make a case
 for this?
