Fwiw, sys_admin doesn't show up in the source code of Firefox.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is defined but never used.

Dear Friends,

it happen to see Firefox and tor bundle browser (linux64) both demand for
sys_admin capabilities, see man 7 capabilitites.

How are you installing Tor Browser?

It should not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN
