Will an application be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges with Firefox? Can Firefox be exploited by nefarious hackers to track, harrass or retrieve browsing data?

When vulnerabilities are discovered by or reported to browser makers, they usually get fixed in a quick security update (or the next version update). But there are always unknown vulnerabilities in complex software, so no one can say for sure that an exploit isn't possible right now.
