> real benefits to Firefox by enhancing security of isolated components like this mp4 parser
Now if only there was a way to isolate stuff at runtime (i.e. a sandbox) to better take advantage of operating system mitigations. I hope that with e10s now (almost) shipping we will start to see some progress towards this. IIRC Mozilla has said they would start to roll out security features (related to e10s) in stages. I'll believe it when I see it but it's nice to finally see this from Firefox since it's been far too long without a defense in depth approach to security from them.
