Found new Mozilla folder and files using e10s.

Post by streetwolf »

I just discovered this folder "C:\Users\Gary\AppData\LocalLow\Mozilla" on my drive. It contains empty files with names like 'MozTemp-{0d218574-15cc-4421-9e87-46dbbd03394b}.' It appears it started today at least on the inbounds. Any idea what this folder/files are used for unless it's a bad patch.

running latest m-c win32 Tinderbox build here and I don't have that folder 'Mozilla' here, will keep an eye out over next couple days.

Maybe a 64bit thing ?

The folder only appears when I am running e10s.

Found this... 1018988 – Change windows environment variables when running in a low integrity process.

I would have thought that if this was introduced a while back I would have noticed it before today.

turn on the behavior by #1151767 [Core:Security: Process Sandboxing]-Change the default Windows content sandbox to low integrity. [Win]


And the problem is #1162327 [Core:Security: Process Sandboxing]-MozTemp is not deleted [Win]
