Sandboxie not opening to home page

Post by fcharat » Fri Feb 12, 2016 3:14 pm

Windows 7 64bit, Sandboxie 5.06, Firefox default browser. If i open Firefox normally it always opens to the home page. When I open Sandboxie it always opens my default browser, Firefox. Sometime it opens to the home page and often it simply opens to a blank page. I tried deleting Sandboxie and reinstalling it to no avail.

I can't figure it out.

If outside the sandbox, Firefox always opens your Home page, and thats not the case when you run the browser in the sandbox, then you probably need to delete contents of the sandbox.

This problem has only occurred since the last month. It also occurs when I first open the sandbox after deleting it. I believe it happens less if I reboot the computer.

FF run within the SB will use the settings that are present on your host. Also, you should make certain that FF is set as your web browser in Applications in SBIE.

If you set google to be your homepage in FF outside the sandbox, it will persist when run in the SB (you have to make certain that your contents are deleted in that SB routinely.)

Not sure what help uninstalling / reinstalling will do..other than cause a headache. If you were getting errors that indicated that, maybe. But this is a setting, cookie, stale SB content issue.

fcharat, test running Firefox in a new sandbox with default settings, except setting it up to delete on closing.

Hello!! I would like to recommend you to reboot the computer so that it will give less problem.

Make sure FF is set to open to the correct webpage when started, outside of the sandbox.

Close FF, Open FF again to verify.

Delete contents of your sandbox and/or create a new SB.

Open FF in the the Sandbox.
