Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:15 yawning]:
 > Having to start firefox with the privileges/capabilities that tor needs
 is horrific and is something that we should move away from unless we have
 a lot of faith in Firefox acquiring decent security/sandboxing.

 sandboxing on all three major platforms and should be more and more
 restricted for the upcoming esr FF59:
