Run Firefox in a protected sandbox
Could I just ask, why?
Run Firefox in a protected sandbox
Sandboxing provides additional protection from malicious programs, which are rampant on the internet today. Firefox by default, gives write access to the whole of your home folder, sandboxing restricts this to areas where it needs write access and gives read only access for others. Flash security is a very hot topic right now, it can store cookies and other information in several places on your system, outside of Firefox's control. Sandboxing can prevent this.

I agree it's not for everyone, but there are some real world scenarios. For example if you have setup Firefox in kiosk mode as a surfing station. Or you just know you're visiting dubious websites. |
