This is a followup for bug 1114647 — using the "firefox" executable to run content processes (instead of the confusingly named plugin-container) can't work on Linux currently because of how the sandbox code makes various things depend on each other, combined with firefox (with libmozsandbox statically linked into it, on desktop) not being able to link directly against libxul the way plugin-container can.

See bug 1268733 comment #9 for more context and an idea about how to deal with this: replace the symbol dependencies between libmozsandbox and libxul by passing appropriate pointers as part of XREChildData, and then linkage won't matter (and, as a side effect, the weak symbol hacks can go away).
