Is anyone else nervous trusting all his programs to have access to all his files? Is there already a reasonable solution to this problem?

It makes me nervous for, say, Firefox and its plugins to be able to read and write every file I own, whether it's gnucash, ~/.ssh, or other sensitive files.

Absolutely. Right now, I use different logins for different things (casual web surfing, financial stuff, snd work), but it's inconvenient and far from fullproof.

Capabilities or MAC systems could be used here -- someone just has to put in the work to make it happen.
