Comment (by pospeselr):

 Yeah so long as the seccomp policies for AF_INET6 socket creation doesn't
 kill the calling thread, the existing Firefox code gracefully handles
 socket creation failure.

 In the event that we want to enable such a strict policy for the sandbox
 the relevant code in nsSOCKSIOLayer.cpp's nsSOCKSIOLayerAddToSocket() can
 probably be safely refactored to ignore the IPv6 detection if the desired
 socket family is AF_LOCAL.
