Hi,
while discussing opportunities for increased cooperation between Tails
and Freepto [1] recently, I've mentioned the upcoming Tor Browser's
self-updater, and one of the Freepto developers rightly noted that
there may be a fundamental incompatibility between this updater, and
the desire to confine the browser in a sandbox. Indeed, it seems quite
clear to me that one of the important tasks such a sandbox should
fulfill would be... to avoid the confined program from
modifying itself.
It seems that supporting such sandboxes is part of your plans ([2],
[3]), so I'm curious: what's the TBB team's take on this problem?
