It could still read the whole ~/.mozilla with the default profile, but even that can be restricted with some tweaking.
As far as I understand facebook’s major business model is to gather information that were more or less willingly uploaded, at least not through an exploit in classical sense. Breaking out of firejail through X is possible [citation needed..], but I hope that facebook’s manager think it would push users away. In general, I don’t know what a custom user agent, and disabling general privacy threatening stuff[2] in firefox does for good, as most of it would just be useful to identify you *again* - a thing that you already provide yourself by logging in. [1] This might be discussable at all as webbrowsers are quite complex nowadays, but this leads to a whole new discussion. [2] https://privacytools.io is a neat site with much information about e.g. firefox’ modifications to disable stuff like JS battery status information. Yep, that exists :) https://www.privacytools.io/#about_config should link directly to the specific subsection. -- GPG fingerprint: '00EF D31F 1B60 D5DB ADB8 31C1 C0EC E696 0E54 475B' Nils Freydank
