I mean, don't get me wrong, reliably breaking out of the browser sandbox is impressive, but it's not the unstoppable threat the title advertises.
(Also, I wonder how vulnerable Firefox is vs WebKit these days. Now that they've caught up on per-origin process isolation, and a lot of the sensitive libraries are written in rust, and others that handle codecs are being compiled to webassembly as a form of hardening... they might be a pretty tough nut to crack by now.)
