I just noticed this same thing; opened Ffox sandboxed, no flash or silverlight,(Adobe Acrbt/Java toolkit still there).......opened OUT of sandbox, they all appear........re-open IN sandbox, they all appear..........re-opened IN sandbox again(back 2 back) and they are gone once more ???

good, so it's two of us now ;D >>> you can still temporarily fix that by granting internet access to all virtualized software.

Tried to simulate that ( opening in, out, in etc. etc. ... the sandbox ) but everything stays fine here.

@Logos, are you using normal FF 3.6.3 edition, aren't you?
@Gargamel360, what's your OS and FF version? Thanks.

hmm...that's not good, not easy to solve I suppose, but again, allowing internet access to all sandboxed software is a temp fix...it will just work like it use to, before these settings existed. >>> may be the issue is just there, that allowing only "web browsers" to connect doesn't include subsequent processes connections, like plugins...but why just on 64 bit systems? and the thing is that they don't load, so I can't see the relation with connectivity.

Hi VLK,

Just wondering since first time avast release with sandbox, i already implemented to my IE but sometime if we ran under virtualization of avast my IE become very slow and sometime become hang and stuck.

And today i am tried it again to my Firefox 3.6.3, this happened too with my firefox.

I am using Lenovo 3000G230 with specifications :

Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 2.20Ghz
RAM 2 GB
OS Windows 7 Home Premium

But after i released my firefox from sandbox, then my firefox can ran normal again.

Why this could happened?

cheers,
