Error 0xc0000742 when launching Firefox [SOLVED]

[OLLI_S]

Hello,

I upgraded Firefox to the latest version (Auto-Update) and when I start Firefox I get the Windows-Error-Message that the application could not be started properly (0xc0000742).
When I start Firefox outside the sandbox (Disable Force Programs) then it works.

What information do you need?
I have Firefox 64 bit and I installed it 3 weeks ago, but at that time I was able to start it.

Regards

OLLI

Hello OLLI_S,

If you recently updated Firefox, please be sure to empty the contents of your Sandbox and then re-try launching Firefox Sandboxed.
You can also test it in a new Sandbox with default settings.

Here's the needed info:

Hello,

I had 3 sandboxes and I deleted all contents -> did not work
I deleted the 2 manually added sandboxed -> did not work
I deleted the "DefaultSandbox" -> Firefox started normally

Thank you!
Best regards

Hello,

Today I started Firefox and receive the same error message but this time an other error number (0xc0000142).
And yes, I deleted all contents of the sandbox.
I don't use Firefox every day, so it just worked a very short period.

Note: I have Firefox 64 bit (could that be the reason of my problem?)

Best regards

Hello OLLI_S,

Does the issue happen in a new Sandbox with default settings?
Does Firefox work fine outside Sandboxie?

Can you provide the required information (see my previous post) so that we can better assist you?

Hello Barb,

I can start Firefox outside the sandbox without any problems.

So I deleted the content (all files) in all sandboxes, so they are all empty.
Then I removed all sandboxes (also the "DefaultBox") so Sanboxie created a new "DefaultBox" with default settings for me.
Here Firefox is not yet in the forced programs, so I can start Firefox normally.

After that I added "firefox.exe" to the "Forced Programs" (by selecting it from the list "Programs that were recently started").
When I start Firefox from the start menu then Sandboxie shows the following error:

SBIE2101 Object name not found: , error OpenProcess (C0000022) access=001FFFFF initialized=1

In the Sandboxie Control window I see that some processes were started and terminated after 1 second.

I also tried to remove "firefox.exe" from the list of forced programs and added "<FirefoxPrograms>".
But this leads to the same error message.

Here are some version numbers:
Windows: Windows 10 Professional x64 Version 1709 (Build 16299.10)
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 56.0.1 (64-Bit)
Sandboxie: Version 5.20 (64-Bit)
Antivirus: Norton Security 22.11.0.41 (64-Bit)

I hope this information helps further.

Best regards

This is why you should always post the required information.

This should solve your issue - use the latest Sandboxie Beta version:

Hello ssj100,

I installed the actual beta and deleted all content of the sandbox.
Then I added "firefox.exe" to the forced programs.
But when I start Firefox I still get the following error message:

Code: Select all

SBIE2101 Object name not found: , error OpenProcess (C0000022) access=001FFFFF initialized=1

But when I start Firefox I still get the following error message:

Code: Select all

SBIE2101 Object name not found: , error OpenProcess (C0000022) access=001FFFFF initialized=1

You can ignore that message or hide it. I havent gotten it with version 1709 but I seen it a few times when launching Firefox with previous versions of W10. Is so rare that I havens hidden it. But if I was geting it like everyday, then I would hide it. In my case, despite the message, there is no issue.

Hello,

the problem is that Firefox closes directly after I started it (I don't see a Firefox window, but in the Sandboxie Control I see that Firefox and 4 or 5 other processes are started and within one second terminated).

Hi OLLI, then you do have a problem. The problem is Norton conflicting with Sandboxie. Read the thread I am linking, read Barbs post.

If it was me, for now I would uninstall Norton and use Windows defender.
