Description

[Bob Owen (:bobowen)]

The Windows sandboxing code in GeckoChildProcessHost could do with refactoring, so that we don't have process specific switching / logic.

Bob, do you remember what you had in mind and how this could be implemented as of today ? Looking at things that we duplicate, this came up when working on bug 1722051.

Not entirely, it was such a long time ago. :-)
I think it was mainly around the checking of process type, when we already have specialisations for each type.
That was before all the ProcessLauncher refactor, which possibly makes that less relevant / feasible.
