Can not open/display pdf documents when firefox is sandboxed

Post by wonderlust76 » Sat Jan 05, 2013 9:46 am

Hi everyone,
I've noticed a bug that take places when I run Firefox in Sandboxie.
I can't display/open and ovviously download pdf files.
Opening sandboxie, and looking at the process list, I can see 2 Firefox "plugin container" running....and no adobe reader process...seems very odd to me.
If I run Firefox outside the sandbox everything is ok...

OS: Windows Xp sp3, 32 bits
Sandboxie version: 3.76
Adobe reader version: 10.1.4.38
Firefox version: 17.0.1

Does anyone have the same problem? How could I fix it?

Thanks

Was this working well at some point, and stopped working?
Could this have been caused by any changes that you've made to the settings of the sandbox that you use?

Nothing changed in settings Tzuk (sandboxie and adobe)...and actually everything was ok untill few days ago...but yesterday I had a windows update. Mmmm...I wouldn't be surprise if something went wrong with them...I'm recovering windows to a previous status. Lets see...

Ok...I had to switch to Foxit...now at least it works.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall from scrtach Adobe Reader XI....no results.
For me it is, and it will remain a mistery.
Anyway...if I have to choose between sandboxie and a pdf reader....I choose sandboxie for sure. :twisted:
