*[4] Direct CPOW access was not expected and not initially blocked with MPC=True.  There were ~60 add-ons that did this.  It was fixed so no new ones could and temporary "allow" list for add-ons that did.  That will be removed in Beta 54, but then ride to Release 55.

=== Sandboxing ===
Content security sandboxing in Firefox is a security measure that restricts operating system access malicious content can gain through security vulnerabilities. Add-ons which interact with the file system through [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Guides/Content_Scripts content scripts] will be impacted by [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox/Limitations_of_frame_scripts this feature]. Currently file system write restrictions are rolling out on various platforms in Firefox 50 and Firefox 52. File system read restrictions will start rolling out in Firefox 54. Add-on authors should familiarize themselves with [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox/Limitations_of_frame_scripts areas of the file system that will be blocked by these features] as they roll out, and adjust their Add-on code to avoid any potential issues.
