Comment (by yawning):

 This really sucks to do because of the sub-optimal way that the various
 Tor components are integrated into Tor Browser.  The flatpak model does
 not mesh well with Tor Browser currently shipping a user profile directory
 that is expected to be volatile.

 There are various kludges that can be done to work around this, but more
 realistically the better solution is to solve #10760 among other things.

 The protections provided by the sandbox would still be severely lacking
 because you would want to decouple the tor process and the firefox one,
 but at least it may improve the distribution situation.
