Can't get Firefox back into virtualized sandbox mode
« on: February 15, 2011, 08:00:21 PM »
Good morning all -

I took Firefox out of the sandbox mode to update Flash Player, but now I can't get it re-virtualized.  I tried going to the Virtualizations Settings and deleting contents of browser, which had fixed it in the past, but no luck.

I did a test and was able to virtualize Chrome, but I vastly prefer Firefox.  And I feel much safer when in the virtualized sandbox.

Any help would be very much appreciated! 

Windows 7, 64 bit, 6 Ram, NVidea GF GTX260, Firefox with adblock, Avast Internet Security V. 5.1.889,  MBAM Pro

Do you have FF set to always run in sandbox? If not, you will need to "right" click Firefox and select "run in sandbox" each time.

Thanks for responding!   But I do keep FF set to always run in sandbox, so that is not the problem.

Any other ideas?

Maybe check your task manager to see if Firefox's process is still running after you close it out, that one reason for Firefox not wanting to load in sandbox, if it is still running non-virtualized, then it can't happen.
