Mohabi: Disaggregating and Sandboxing the Firefox JavaScript Engine

Mohabi presented research on the Firefox JavaScript engine. The work focuses on disaggregating the engine’s components. It also describes sandboxing techniques to isolate execution. The presentation was delivered at the OSDI 26 conference. The approach aims to improve security and modularity. Disaggregation allows parts of the engine to run independently. Sandboxing reduces the risk of malicious code affecting the host. The talk outlined potential performance and deployment benefits. Attendees were invited to explore further implementation details.
