    Yes, see how it goes for you, for me I only need the plugin to have
    internet access for certain things. For example: Google translate,
    Imagevenue and Flash settings page. I don't need it for anything
    else and I rarely use the pages I mentioned. If you have all plugins
    that are available installed, like J L does, then you might need to
    allow the plugin Internet on more pages than I do. Myself, I got rid
    of all plugins, except Flash and Flash is normally disable on my PC.
    If I am surfing on my regular sandbox and I need the plugin to
    have access to Internet, I open a second FF box that I have in
    which the plugin has internet access, when I finish using it, gets
    closed.
    Whether you need to allow the plugin internet access, it should
    depend on how much you need it. On my end I could go days
    or weeks and not need it. So, for me, it makes a lot of sense not
    to allow the plugin internet. For others, it might be different.

    The lesser amount of things that are allowed, the safer I am.

    For me, it worked the same on FF4 or the previous versions. When the
    plugin container came out, I did not automatically allow it internet. I
    found that its very rare, for me, for the plugin to need it in order to
    start and run..
    Even Flash, does not need internet on all sites. I use You Tube every
    day and even though I get,sometimes, SBIE 1307, the videos play
    just perfect.
    Give it a try and don't put any attention to JL, he has a collection of
    plugins and toys.

    yup, I was mistaken, the plugin container works fine without internet access
    FF4 was crashing before, the culprit is that I forget to permit pdf reader to run :D

    Yes. I think it's been fixed since 3.46 (July 2010).

    Hi :)

    I'm using a Mouse with my Laptop.
    Coz... I'm totally useless with a Touchpad :oops:

    But!
    My Synaptics Touchpad does appear to be working with Sandboxie :thumb:
    That Is... If I wasn't to busy using a Mouse :D
