 The sandbox container filesystem layout and permissions, and updater logic
 currently are dependent on the user profile being inside the application
 install directory, and the `updater` invocation fully updating the
 browser, including the addons/prefs/etc that are under the
 `profile.default` directory.

 #20599 needs to be followed, and the sandbox creation code adjusted
 accordingly.
