Well that's just it, use of the sanitizers is not up to the developers, it's a build-time option. The TOR guys have enabled them when building firefox[1]. But apparently some of their debugging features actually introduce potential vulnerabilities themselves so they're not really appropriate for deployed executables. Yet.
