Open Sandbox settings>Resource access>File access>Direct access, Click Drop down window, Click on Firefox, Click Add, navigate to the files you need to allow access for NoScript and Adblock plus by following the paths below: In Firefox 57, for NoScript, you need to allow access to "C:\Users\jclark\\...

When running Firefox "Quantum" sandboxed, it appear that changes made to permissions in the new NoScript do not get permanently saved. (At least they do not remain after closing and re-opening Firefox.) My old NoScript permissions from before the upgrade still seem to be there, however, and I did n...

Beta 5.23.2 is looking good. Feels very very good, Curt (W10 64 bits 1709 16299.125). No issue whatsoever or messages. I ll install it in my W7 later today.

Hi xRemix, you should be able to run most programs that you ran sandboxed in W7 in W10. I am using same programs in both systems and running them sandboxed without issue. Important: What are the programs you are having issue running andboxed in W10? Be aware, Universal apps and Edge are not compatib...

It's easily to detect sandboxie while a program is running within isolation. Just an example: If malware is informed that it is running within sandboxie, it could stop to damage the computer and the user thinks that everything is clean. Once started without sandboxie and bye... You dont want to use...

Hi Nix

Try, Open about:config, change "security.sandbox.content.level" to 2 or 1 or 0.

If that don't work, try disabling Multiprocess, in about:config, change value to false: "browser.tabs.remote.autostart", make sure browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 is also set to false-

Lowering the security.sandbox.content.level does not work for me, even with the security level reduced to 1. Maybe I should reduce it to zero just to see whether that will resolve the problem, but I have my doubts.

Stardance, try that. Or, disable Multiprocess (that should do it).

Thank you for the confirmation. Looking back, I see that this is compatible with the practice that you use according to what you wrote a while back in answer to some other questions by me.

You are welcome, Cocoon. I am glad to help when I can.

Hi iDRED, Norton is really bad choice to use with Sandboxie. Read this recent thread (identical problem as yours). And try deugniets solution.
