Comment (by cypherpunks):

 It seems adding non-`USER_NS` is part of their plan:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151624

 I'm still a bit disgusted that they go this route, using unprivileged user
 namespaces, rather than making use of `CAP_CHROOT` to enter a chroot. I
 mean that's gotta be among the least dangerous capabilities.
