Comment (by yawning):

 FWIW, I'm vaguely against using my modified `start-tor-browser` script
 (#19055) for the official Tor Browser sandboxing efforts, since there's a
 bunch of pitfalls to the approach I took.  This doesn't mean that firejail
 is unsuitable (it's probably still the most expedient approach for Linux),
 just the way I integrated it when I first started looking at sandboxing
 stuff is suboptimal.

 I have ideas on "how to do it better", just wanted to comment that my
 views on certain things have shifted a bit.
