In general, you'd like to confine mozilla so that if it is subverted by malicious code, then it can't do much harm. So allowing it to send signals back to the user domain isn't desirable. For development environments, you might want a policy tunable or boolean to allow such permissions, but not for operational use.
Note that exe is gdb, not mozilla. How did gdb end up in mozilla_t?
