In ContentChild::RecvSetProcessSandbox(), Win sandbox starts only when "browser.tabs.remote.sandbox" preference is "on" or "warn". Mac sandbox should behave the same.

I thought it would be nice to be on par with the Win implementation which depends on a preference setting to start the content sandbox. Feel free to dismiss the bug, and the patch, if you feel like.

Comment on attachment 8517468 [details] [diff] [review] bugzilla-1094196-1.patch We may eventually want to do this, but I think it's premature to do it now. As things now stand, the browser.tabs.remote.sandbox is only for Windows -- not for either OS X or Linux. And it has three possible values -- "off", "warn" or "on". But as far as I know the "warn only" sandbox is only available for Windows (not for OS X or Linux).
