"just user's documents" deleted, modified or leaked --> serious damage! Passwords, phone numbers, programming experiments, etc. are in danger.


And with a proper SELinux policy, you could limit that too just the documents and files Firefox is allowed to touch or even see. E.g. the files in a download folder.
