That might be a bug worth filing, just make sure you file it against
the appropriate version. Another alternative would be to look into
removing write permissions in the home directory (chmod o-w ~) though
you would probably need to selectively restore it in some
subdirectories (say, in the .firefox directory for the browser cache).
You could also remount the filesystem read-only, which would prevent
any changes being persisted at all - this is similar but not identical
to what the LiveCD does.

Pessulus is a lockdown editor, Sabayon is for profile management. So
they're not solving the exact same problem.
