So are you wanting to ringfence a browser plugin? I think that's going to be pretty difficult. The only way I can see you doing it is with either a spare physical or virtual server. With vmware you can restore to snapshots which'll give a degree of security: if it all blows up, then rewind.
I applaud your paranoia, it makes a welcome change from the 'must have the newest and shiniest NOW!' brigade (: Steve Cue Zane and the 'Bl**dy sysadmins' comment!
