The desktop Firefox team is building a new Toolkit module that captures thumbnails of off-screen web pages. Critically, we want to avoid capturing any data in these thumbnails that could identify the user. More generally, we're looking for a way to visit pages in a sandboxed manner that does not interact with the user's normal browsing session. Does anyone know of such a way or know how we might change Gecko to support something like that?
What about launching/forking a separate process to capture thumbnails for these pages? I don't mean an Electrolysis-style child process that is tightly coupled to the browser, but rather a separate program that does not use the Firefox profile at all. The browser would pass this program a URL and it would just render a page and save the thumbnail.
