{{{
Very important side issue is that the sandboxing feature adds
`security.sandbox.content.tempDirSuffix` pref which is a 128-bit GUID that
allows to uniquely identify your copy of Tor Browser. It is persistent and
leaves unique traces on every machine you use in system %TEMP% folder.
}}}
We should find a good way dealing with that. Maybe as a first start is to
set the pref, so that every Windows users has the same sandbox temp dir
name
