Flash cookies

[Jowejir]

I'm running Adobe Flash in a sandbox, using Firefox. I want it to have full access to the flash cookies folder, but giving full access to "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_4_402_287.exe" to "%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player" the doesn't seem to do anything. What application should I edit the permissions for?

The same question applies to giving internet access to Flash. Giving internet access to "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_4_402_287.exe" still results in "internet access blocked" messages.

How can you tell if your Full File Access setting takes effect or not? Is there any way to interact with Flash cookies?

I can look at my Flash cookies by opening a flash animation, then saving. The cookies will appear in my Sandbox folder but not in the non-sandboxed folder.

I'm suspecting that Mozilla is routing everything through plugin-container.exe or something similar, but it isn't plugin-container.exe and I don't see any other suspicious container processes.

Have you tried to specify the full access setting with any program name qualifier? To see if that works?

any program name qualifier

I don't know what this means.

But if I give full access to the Flash cookies folder to every program, then Flash can write there successfully and I see Flash cookies appear outside of the sandbox.

That's what I mean -- not giving a specific program name, so that every program can use the Full File Access setting. And reading your latest post I see that it does work when you do it that way.

Actually, what I did was a bit different; I gave full access to every program to a subfolder. Is full access recursive in directories?

Yes, that is the default behavior.
