Project "Toolkit for sandboxing third-parties libraries in Firefox" described here
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode19

This tracks the progress of rewriting the proof of concept RLBox API. The RLBox API is an API that allows usage of a sandboxed library in a safe, efficient manner without significantly altering application code. The full description of the API is part of research paper is currently under submission and will be made public after acceptance. Please contact the author for any further details.

A proof of concept implementation of the RLBox API has already been implemented and tested. This rewrite/modification aims to build a clean implementation a cut down production ready version of this API. The rewrite will also incorporate some extra features to handle differing machine models in the APIs. More details are provided in the related bugs.
