well, being sick of the number of times one has to upgrade the browser for exploits, I addressed it in a different way. I ran firefox setuid to a different (not my main user), uid+gid, gave my main account that gid as a supplemental group, and gave that uid access to the X magic cookie. ... which only changes the nature of any exploit that might occur - any injected code would have to go via X to attack my main account.
