Comment (by reportUrl):

 What first comes to mind about sandbox is that `startupCache` and the
 other code could use different path specifications: absolute and relative
 (which uses Shell Folders API for Special Folders). So, when
 content/extensions sandbox restricts file access to the current folder, it
 works for absolute or relative path only.
