Firefox Safe Mode

Appreciate the quick reply. Yes, I told him to run in safe mode, disabling only all add-ons, then see if normal mode works. But for now I am mostly interested in finding out if this is a unique problem. I suspect he may have installed a bad add-on outside the sandbox, but has not deleted the sandbox...

Unique problem? FF runs in, but not out of Sandboxie

Has anyone seen this problem before. A friend is experiencing this, but before i ask him for more details, I though I would check here first. Briefly he says that when he tries to open FF unsandboxed, nothing happens. But he can run FF in a sandbox OK. I searched the forums but did not see anything ...

TLS/SSL Flaw

tzuk, Many thanks. I thought it might take place something like this, but wasn't able to think it out. From a little bit of research to date, I have found no indication that it is presently being exploited, and until someone finds a way to exploit it, it is a non-issue. There are indications, though...

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39860592,00.htm Although this is a Zero Day vulnerability, I can't find any indication it is being exploited...yet. Does anyone know if Sandboxie will give users any protection on this one? There;s a lot of tech info on this at http://www.tombom.co.uk/bl...

Thanks for the confirmation

Hi tzuk, Appreciate the confirmation of what I suspected. I'm still recommending that all my list members use Sandboxie. Related subj: Tried the latest Chrome in the sandbox - would not install. I didn't bother noting the error, because i was just testing. The I installed SR Iron in the sandbox with...

User 2. Agree, but do not understand the term preparsed ops. The articles are not clear on protection. Seems to me that a user will still have to be tricked into downloading a file containing the exploit, recover the file to the hard drive and execute the file so the exploit installs in SMM. If the ...

You can always test it by Opening up the main sandboxie window, clicking File and "Is Window Sandboxed", and drag the icon over Chrome. That will tell you if it is in fact Sandboxed.

Browser running sandboxed but no pound # sign

I just installed 3.30 the other day and did not notice it at the time, but when I open my (forced) browser, even though the pound sign shows in the task bar, it does not show in the browser title bar. A quick test shows that the browser is running sandboxed. My browser is AM Browser 3.0.0 RC1 (www.a...
