profile in use error

[jmart]

I am stupid when it comes to this....just a warning.
I have not been able sandbox firefox in the last week.
It keeps telling me i have another instance of firefox running and my profile is in use.
I have tried multiple versions of each. Have installed and reinstalled both.
Currently using ver. 3.76 of sandboxie....newest version of firefox.
I haven't seen any issues like this on this forum.
Thanks for any help you can give.

If unsandboxed Firefox works OK:
- Exit Firefox.
- Use Delete Contents for the sandbox you will be using.
- Start sandboxed Firefox.

Does it still give you that message when you run it sandboxed (and it is not also running unsandboxed, at the time)?

I guess i am too lost. Don't know what sandbox it is in. My profile doesnt show up in the control panel. Only default.
Firefox works fine out of sandbox

- Exit Firefox, if it's running.
- Right-click the Sandboxie Control tray icon, hover the mouse over DefaultBox, then click on Delete Contents.
- Start sandboxed Firefox.

Does it still give you that message when you run it sandboxed?
If that helps, and you have Firefox configured to save items out of the sandbox, such as bookmarks at:
Sandbox Settings > Applications > Web Browser > Firefox
then you may want to select to automatically delete the sandbox contents when all programs using it are exited.
Sandbox Settings > Delete > Delete Invocation
