Subject: Netfilter lacks ability to filter packets via Application-origin

Users need the ability for Linux firewall to filter packets based on what 
Application they are originating from. This ability is present in Mac and 
Windows firewalls, but not Linux. 

For example, users would like ability to open Port 80 for Firefox, but keep 
Port 80 closed for other applications. 

This ability enhances Privacy & Security of the user but also helps to better 
inform the user about the comings and goings of internet traffic and what 
application/s are causing the traffic.
