Comment:

 "The goal of our sandboxing should be to augument such things, and not
 replace them."

 Is totally wrong in hindsight.  Firefox is untrusted, thus anything that
 it does, needs to be replicated by something on the host system that is
 trusted, because Firefox shouldn't be trusted to handle securing itself.
