Firefox - new Tab breaks out of Sandbox

[Unknown_User_730]

Hey!

I installed DivX today in the Sandbox, to get the free key. After finishing installation the installer opens a website.

When Firefox is already opened, the website is opened in a new tab in the current instance of Firefox and so not sandboxed, only when Firefox is closed, Firefox will be opened in a new, sandboxed window.

I think until now such new tabs were always opened in new, sandboxed Firefox windows, also when Firefox was already opened.

Sandboxie 2.86
Windows XP Pro SP2
Firefox 2.0.0.4

Thx,
Hannes

I'll have to check if this also happens with the latest beta version. It's possible this problem may already be fixed with that version.

I tried with version 2.93.10. I had two Firefox browsers, the first was sandboxed, the second was not. I had no ForceProcess option in effect. I installed DivX sandboxed, and at the end of the installation, a new tab was opened in the sandboxed browser.

So I believe latest version fixes this problem. Feel free to test for yourself -- by now, version 2.93.10 of the 2.9x line should be stable enough for everyone to use.
