Comment (by rugk):
I'd also +1 this here. As the OP mentioned the added sandbox/isolation
won't hurt and you can easily distribute it yourself, too. It does not
have to be on Flathub.
And Firefox itself is possible to run in flatpak, already. E.g. in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/gbraad/flatpak-firefox there was some stuff, but
it seems to be outdated.
https://firefox-flatpak.mojefedora.cz/ has some working Firefox packages.
Since Firefox 62 it can also read files from other dirs than "~/Downloads"
properly, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1490186. Thus
it also does not need "host" permission or so, so files in the user's dir
are protected.
