Tor to be bypassed, and certainly will not be the last one. Since these
bugs have a very high security impact I propose they are guarded against.
How about running Firefox inside some kind of firewall that drops all
network packets not going to Tor?

I thought tails stopped shipping with a catch-all/drop-all transproxy
rule?
