If a URL using the "file:" protocol is dragged and dropped onto an open tab that is running in a different child process the tab will open a local file corresponding to the dropped URL, contrary to policy. One way to make the target tab open more reliably in a separate process is to open it with the "noopener" keyword. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.

tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application
crash, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks, install lightweight themes without user interaction, spoof the
filename in the downloads panel, or execute arbitrary code.
