Firefox sandbox

Browser cache files are not written outside of the sandbox by default, unless you use some Sandbox Setting that allows it.Things like bookmarks (favorites), cookies, passwords, history, etc can be allowed out of the sandbox, using:Sandbox Settings > Applications > Web Browser > (browser name) > select the itemsIf the browser has a setting to "allow direct access to entire profile folder" and you use it, then for some browsers you will also be allowing the cache files to be saved out of the sandbox.That's what you do not want to happen.Once you make your selections for the items that you do want to be saved out of the sandbox, then deleting the contents of the sandbox will delete the cache files, since they are trapped inside of the sandbox.That will also get rid of the message you are receiving, since deleting the sandbox contents is the best way to get rid of any junk that you don't want any more.If you do not delete the contents of the sandbox after using the browser, then all of the files in that sandbox will be used again the next time you run it sandboxed.There's a manual Delete Contents, and there's an automatic Delete Contents in Sandbox Settings.The same thing goes for cookies. They will not be saved outside of the sandbox unless you allow it.Otherwise the cookies will be deleted when the sandbox contents are deleted, and the only cookies that will remain are those that are already outside of the sandbox.One thing about Firefox browsing history (not cache files). Since Firefox saves bookmarks and browsing history in the same database file, if you select to save bookmarks out of the sandbox, you will also save history out of the sandbox.So set the UNsandboxed Firefox to save or delete the browsing

This is really the most secure way to handle contents. If you dont set the sandbox to delete on closing, if you terminate all programs, contents still remain within the sandbox. So, you really want to keep deleting contents as you have it now.Personally, my Firefox 55,0.2 sandbox is deleting fast as always in W10. Firefox 55.0.3 is out now, you might want to try it. If any of my sandboxes was taking long to delete, one way to handle it would be to set that sandbox to delete on closing and click Terminate all programs when I am ready to close the sandboxed program. I can get used to doing that.You also can create shortcuts for terminating all programs or for terminating an specific program. I have one for terminating all programs, I keep it in my taskbar. You can create that shortcut with this path."C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" /terminate_allOr you can create one for an specific sandbox only. The path below is set to terminate programs running in a sandbox named Foxit. Just change that name to the name of your Firefox sandbox. Clicking the shortcuts out of the taskbar work with one click."C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" /box:Foxit /terminateBo

Does sandboxie not delete files directly but instead into the $RECYCLE.BIN folder created inside the box? I have David's classic installed. If I want to replace it with plus, do I simply install plus and it will overwrite classic? Or do I first need to uninstall classic? I second that.(although firefox is not boxed here) Is Firefox installed out or inside a sandbox? Because i can log in into Firefox Sync unsandboxed, and then running Firefox sandboxed (an logged in) normally. Never had that problem, try to log in using a virgin sandbox.The only problem using Firefox until now was this: Sbie+ Chromium 90+ compatybility analysis but i fixed it quickly: Sbie+ Firefox .89+ compatybility always been doing it in a clean sandbox. I log into firefox sync from a sandboxed firefox. That way I can have a totally clean firefox disconnected from my sync for other boxes. install over the top or clean install, doesn't matter. It is a clean box. outside logged in, inside not logged in. (firefox was ended regular each time) This build fixes many issues with chrome and chromium based browsersDownload: "OpenClipboard=n" clipboard access for a sandbox can be now disabledChangednow by default the OpenBluetooth template is enabled to enable compatybility with unity games"PreferExternalManifest=program.exe,y" can now be set on a per process basisFixedfixed compiled issues with the most recent vs2019 updatefixed issue with vivaldi browserfixed some issues with box options in the plus uifixed some issues with hw acceleration in chromium based browsersthe stop all command now issues "kmdutill scandll" first to solve issues when the SbieDll.Dll is in useworkaround for electorn apps, by forcing a additional commandline argument on the gpu renderer proces

Hi ist den bei der Sandbox eine genauere Einstellungsmöglichkeit geplant? Momentan ist man bei der Sandbox komplett auf die Intelligenz der Software angewiesen.Ich würde gern auch manuell selbst entscheiden wollen ob eine heruntergeladene Datei in die Sandbox kommt. Am besten wäre es jede heruntergeladene Datei vorerst in die Sandbox zu schieben. Das müsste aber manuell einstellbar sein. Manch User mag das vielleicht zu aufwendig sein. TerraX April 4, 2011, 4:14am 2 Hallo,bin zwar nicht ganz sicher…aber wenn dein Browser in der Sandbox ausgeführt wird, wird dann der Download nicht auch automatisch in der Sandbox ausgeführt?Hab das noch gar nicht getestet, aber wenn ich mal dazu komme, versuche ich das mal! Asyn April 4, 2011, 5:10am 3 Vollwertige Sandbox gibt’s in Pro und IS.In der Free Version mußt du dich mit der AutoSandbox ‘begnügen’. Schönen Tag,asyn system April 4, 2011, 11:02am 4 Ach daher weht der Wind. Was kann man den bei den Vollversionen da in der Sandbox direkt einstellen? Gibt es irgendwo Screenshots wo man sich das mal ansehen kann? Asyn April 4, 2011, 11:10am 5 Du kannst sowohl avast! Pro als auch avast! IS 30 Tage kostenlos testen.Ich denke, das ist besser, als jeder Screenshot. system May 1, 2011, 7:08pm 6 Also eine reine FAKE-Funktion für die Gratis-Version, die nur bei Treiber- und Software-Installationsdateien anspringt, bei denen eine Sandbox kontraproduktiv wäre?! So zumindest bisher meine Erfahrungen…Nein, da ich dann erst die Software installieren muss. Screenshots zeigen mir die Möglichkeiten, ohne dass ich sinnlose Installationen durchführen muss. Asyn May 2, 2011, 6:02am 7 Willkommen im Forum.Die AutoSandbox ist sicher kein Fake.Du kannst sie aber einfach deaktivieren, falls du sie nicht einsetzen willst und mit z.B.: Sandboxie arbeiten.Die Frage ist, wovon du einen Screenshot bei einer Sandbox willst…??Hier ein kurzes Video (Englisch): Running an application in avast! Sandbox Tag,asyn system May 2, 2011, 1:45pm 8 Danke.Nun, da sie zwar anspringt, ist es wohl kein Fake im eigentlichen Sinne - aber da sie NIE sinnvoll anspringt, ist sie unnütz. Weder mein Browser (Firefox 4) noch “unbekannte EXE-Dateien” werden in der Sandbox ausgeführt. Stattdessen fragt mich avast immer nur bei Treiber- und Softwareinstallationen danach.Nett gemeint, aber wie ich eine Sandbox benutze, weiß ich selberDies wäre auch mein Interesse gewesen (bzw. ist es das immer noch). In wie weit lässt sich die Sandbox konfigurieren? Oder gibt es da tatsächlich nur die An-/Abschaltfunktion?Dir auch. Asyn May 3, 2011, 9:44am 9 DJBone wird (freundlicherweise) heute Abend die Screenshots für dich zu posten. asyn Die Sandbox reagiert, wenn ein unbekanntes Programm Systemmodifikationen durchführen würde / es zu tun scheint. Wenn du das als “unnütz” oder “nicht sinnvoll” bezeichnen möchtest - okay.Firefox und andere Browser sind keine unbekannten Programme, ergo werden sie nicht in der Auto-Sandbox ausgeführt.Unbekannte exe werden dann mit der Sandbox erfasst, wenn die Verhaltensheuristik eine potenzielle Gefahr erkennt - insofern entscheided die ASB intelligent, ob ein Sandboxing nötig ist.Die vollwertige Sandbox in der Pro/AIS lässt sich konfigurieren und du kannst angeben, welche Progs immer resp. nie in der Sandbox ausgeführt werden sollen. Also z.B. Firefox

It's not a matter of not wanting to support Firefox, but giving you a timely workaround. There's long-term architecture work happening (primarily on the Firefox side) to address the root-cause of general hang and stability issues, but if the issues you're having are painful enough to drive you to this forum, my assumption is that they're bad enough that you probably don't want to live with them for several months. Also, Protected Mode is an critical defense against malware on Windows, and you put yourself at significant risk by disabling it. In terms of short-term options, using one of the ample available choices that have modern, secure plug-in interfaces (even Opera has one now) is going to give you a significant amount of pain relief.The reason that Flash works so much better in other browsers at the moment is because those browsers have invested heavily in modern plug-in architectures that provide both security and efficiency. The NPAPI plug-in interface in Firefox has gone largely unchanged since the '90s, and back in 2012 when we saw the shift in the malware space to state-sponsored hacking and well-funded organized crime, we bolted on a modern security sandbox architecture between Flash and Firefox (Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox. At the time, Mozilla wasn't interested in making that kind of investment in plug-ins.A plugin-side approach to sandboxing is sub-optimal, and because it's a bolt-on solution, the communication between Flash and Firefox is a multiple of what it would be in an efficient
