Details

(Whiteboard: sb+) 

Mochitests write to a log file opened in the content process after sandbox startup, which is a problem.  Worse, the file name is supplied as part of the query string in the content URL, so the parent doesn't directly have access to it in order to whitelist it.

For B2G it might be enough to hard-code "/data/local/tests/log/mochitest.log", but a better solution would be to use the message manager to remote the logging to the parent.

(Note that test runs have no real security, due to SpecialPowers, but running them with sandboxing configured as close to normally as possible is important for preventing regressions.)
