Obviously something creates a conflict for you when you run both browsers in the same sandbox. To avoid this issue and for security, separate the browsers. You are into security, and isolating programs from each other in their own sandbox is the recommended way of using SBIE. Look where it says Create more sandboxes.
Like I said, the bug must be in SBIE v5, it's not something else that's creating the problem. Normally there should be no stability issues when running 2 browsers in the same sandbox, SBIE v4 proves this. Now that I think of it, I recall that my PDF reader was also not running stable when launched as a child process from the browser, I forgot to test this with the latest v5, but that would be quite a serious issue. After all, you can not run your browser and PDF reader in separate sandboxes. :|

Normally I would indeed run browsers in seperate sandboxes, but like I said, I often open FF as a child process from inside Opera, because Opera can not display a lot of sites correctly, but I can not use FF for all of my browsing because it kinda sucks in certain areas. So until I switch to Vivaldi I will continue to use this setup, bet yes it's not that handy.

Good news, I've upgraded to the latest version (507-3), and I haven't encountered any problems. I did also disable a certain self protection feature in SpyShelter, but if I recall correctly, even without SpyShelter installed I also had this problem. But anyway, I'm glad the problem is fixed. :)

Bad news, it doesn't happen as often anymore, but it still sometimes does. So I will label this as a "freak bug". It must somehow be related to FF, it seems to be some kind of weird interprocess communication error, when Opera 12 and FF are running in the same sandbox.

I've even cleaned the sandbox, and tested it in another sandbox, and I get the exact same problem. With PDF-XChange Viewer running as a child process from Opera, this doesn't happen. To clarify, I'm just posting this as general information, I don't expect this bug to be fixed, because it's so rare. :?
