Note, running confined will break the current workaround behavior for
keepDisplayOn.

Title:
  browser allows browsing the phone filesystem

Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using a URL like: file:/// gets you to the root of the phone
  filesystem ... i assume this is not actually desired since we even
  block the filemanager app to go higher up then $HOME without requiring
  a password.

  The webbrowser-app should either:
   * behave like the file-manager (see bug #1347010 for details)
   * file:/// should be disabled altogether on the phone
   * webbrowser-app should run confined which would force the use of
     content-hub by limiting file:/// access to those paths allowed by
     policy
