Title: Firebug stopped working when I run Firefox in sandbox!
Post by: XO39 on December 04, 2010, 05:25:44 PM

Hi,

I hope someone could help with this.
I'm a web developer, so I have some extensions that I use while working with web designing/programming. One of the most tools that I use a lot is firebug, but when I run Firefox virtualized/in sandbox, Firebug get removed from extension list and does not work anymore.

All other extension are there and the only one missing is Firebug.

I'm on windows 7/ Avast Internet Security 5.0.677
My settings are as following:

• Automatically detect default locations for saved/downloaded files and save files to these locations outside the sandbox (Checked)
• Store files in special storage in the sandbox... (Checked)
• All settings (inc. extensions, add-ons, etc.) (Unchecked)
• Bookmarks (Checked)
• History (Checked)
• Cookies (checked)

It works when I check the (All settings (inc. extensions, add-ons, etc.)) option but when it's unchecked it doesn't work, I'd go with this option checked but then what's the point of having the browsers run in the sand box as that will be less secure then, am I correct? And as I said before, all other extensions are working correctly with the option above unchecked, the only extensions that doesn't work is Firebug.

By the way, Firebug is working OK in flock while it's virtualized/in sandbox with the same settings above.

Is there any solution for this?

Thanks

It's not listed in the add-on list when I run Firefox in the sandbox, but if I run it outside the sandbox it's there listed and enabled.

XO39, thanks for your report - I'll try to simulate it tomorrow or on Monday and let you know.
btw, do you use 32-bit or 64-bit Win7? Thanks.
