sandboxed Firefox for standard-browser

Post by Jay » Thu Jul 19, 2007 12:22 pm

Hello folks,
I have a question concerning the usage of a sandbox-installation (v3.00.04) with mozilla firefox v1.05.12.

Is it possible to define a secure (sandboxed) version of the firefox for the standard-browser of windows-xp?

The Problem is: every time I click a link in an extern program (e.g. icq oder mIrc) the system opens an unsecure (which means NOT sandboxed) version of the firefox.
I already searched in the forum for this, but I did not find any adequate topics, so sorry if I haven't seen any other threads.

Greetings and a big thankyou for any answers to my problem / question!

Jay

Try this, open sandboxie control, goto "Configuration" at the top, then click "SandboxSettings", then click "Set Forced Programs..." then in the window that pops up, check the checkmark next to "Mozilla Firefox", hit ok, and then in sandboxie control, click "Configuration" again and this time click (at the very bottom) "Reload Configuration", and that should fix the problem for you. :wink:

Thank you for this explanation. Unfortunately it does not work. I did like you told me to but even a computer-restart did noch bring any changes.

Its still opening an unsecured Firefox outside of Icq / mIrc :/

though, thanks for this!

Do you have any other ideas :/

You have to be a registered user for the ForceProcess function to work.

Registered user means I have to pay for this or just registering with a valid e-mail-adress?
