 Paraphrasing what Roger told me on #tor-dev yesterday:

 There's a guy in Sweden, trams, who has been helping helix sandbox Firefox
 in TBB on OS X.  Basically, it wraps the application like the OpenBSD
 permissions wrappers.  If we do it right, it will become safe to let Flash
 run inside it.  At least two sponsors want it.  It's a lot of work though.
 The overall goal is to make it work on "all three" operating systems.
 This task probably doesn't need much Nick or Roger time, but maybe some
 Mike or Jake time.

 ("Tor bundles/installation" was my best guess.  If there's a better
 component, please change that.)
