Comment(by marco):

 I'm not completely convinced by the "copy profile around" approach. I
 think it would require quite a bit of testing (code freeze is near), it's
 just a short time solution and it would have to be cut/pasted in all the
 "web based" activities.

 What I propose is:

  1. Run Browser outside container. One line fix in sugar.
  2. Patch xulrunner to fix the problematic permissions we know about (i.e.
 the files which are normally created in the profile). I think this would
 cover pretty well the "web based" activities because being only a single
 website it's easy to verify that stuff works and patch more permissions if
 necessary (also we don't ship those by default so the risk is smaller).
