Sandboxie-Plus v1.4.0, v1.4.1, v1.4.2

Just installed the Classic version, and had a problem and reran the installer over the top, successfully, after prior 'error' messages. I haven't a clue as to how this software works. I have a lot of reading, i.e. "Help".

 

I closed the 'sandbox', and I see that processes are running still. I guess that is how it is supposed to work.

 

This was the problem:

*** KmdUtil failed. Installation or un-installation may not have complete (sic) successfully. ***

I disabled OSArmor and VoodooShield, temporarily, and then Sandboxie installed, successfully.

@DavidXanatos Congratulations on reaching Patreon Goal 1
Will the BreakoutProcess feature be available to all in the next build?

 

Yes ofcause

 

Possible problem with Sandboxie Plus 1.4.2 and a sometimes crashing Firefox 106.0 (just released but not available yet via internal updater).

 

@DavidXanatos

As already indicated here by @Mattchu, the new Firefox version 106.0 does not work well with Sandboxie:

On my Windows 10 21H2 (x64) I get these error messages every time I watch a video:

PID 2216: SBIE2336 Error in GUI server: [55 / C0000155]
PID 2216: SBIE2335 Initialization failed for process WerFault.exe [88 / 0]
(PID 2216 = SbieSvc.exe)

On a Windows 11 21H2 (x64) in a VM, I get the following error message:

WerFault.exe (3064): SBIE2203 Failed to communicate with Sandboxie Service: *GUIPROXY_00000001; MsgId: 14 - WerFault.exe [FF000000]

In addition, in my tests in the VM, Firefox crashed very often on YouTube or Bing! As @Mattchu had already written.

 

Opening a radio-stream like https://www.sublime.nl triggers instant Sandboxie-errors and later a crash.

 

I don't see any GUIPROXY messages but i can reproduce the crash when watching youtube so seams something got broken,
and firefox 105.x was fine so its definet a new change that causes teh incompatybility?

 

please check if setting about:config option security.sandbox.content.level to 4 solves the crash issue for you.

 

Changed the security.sandbox.content.level to 4, getting an instant Werfault-error but Firefox did not crash. Will test this longer tomorrowmorning.

 

forget the security.sandbox.content.level currently it seams to crash even with 0 set ...
It looks to me like we have here a combination of 2 errors, one caused by sandboxie here a certain worker process terminates prematurely causign the MSG: 14 error, so far so good, FF would work without it. But there seam to be a second issue as it seams a race condition in FF's IPC mechanism that can bring the main process down when a worker terminates very quickly. So one bug ours the other theirs... Will have to look into what exactly is failing in this worker process...
Anyhow in a compartment style box FF seams to still work fine...

 

Just for the sake of completeness, since you are already on the trail of the two errors:

Yes, the issues occurred for the first time with version 106.0. With version 105.x and all older versions these issues never occurred and everything worked flawlessly.

I hope that the issues can be fixed quickly, as Firefox is used by many people as their browser.

 

Later today is the official release of Firefox 106.0 via the internal updater.

 

According to my experiments, Firefox crashes start with the following version. @DavidXanatos

Updated to Firefox 106.0 just now and for good measure, restarted machine. No error messages or crashes on v. 1.4.2. Nice.

Yup, naturally spoke too soon. Got these two but I dismissed them. Anyone else?

Spoiler

 

Yes, I get these messages too:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thr...-4-0-v1-4-1-v1-4-2.447865/page-3#post-3110629

FYI, the messages are almost only triggered on pages with media content, such as videos.

 

Thanks for info and confirming. Yes, I support your observation that Sandboxie (1.4.1 and 1.4.2, tried both) does not work well with Firefox v. 106, specifically as you already noted: with video (YouTube). Either the page buffers or Firefox abruptly closes. Hmm. For now, Sandboxie is disabled until something can be done.

 

Had a suspicion of sorts--installed my Insiders beta Windows 11 drive and getting a slightly different experience there. Here, the video plays but Sandman will display 2 errors every time I load another YouTube video. With other video content, like in Yahoo, Firefox abruptly closes and Mozilla shows a small box to submit the crash report.

Windows 11 22623.741. Firefox 106.

Every time I visit https://9to5mac.com/ I get different WerFault.exe errors:

WerFault.exe (13240): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - WerFault.exe [DefaultBox]
WerFault.exe (12652): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - WerFault.exe [DefaultBox]

WerFault.exe (10732): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - WerFault.exe [DefaultBox]

If I visit the same web site, on the second time Firefox crashes and I get different crashreporter.exe errors:

crashreporter.exe (1596): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - crashreporter.exe [DefaultBox]
crashreporter.exe (9160): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - crashreporter.exe [DefaultBox]
crashreporter.exe (7076): SBIE1308 Program cannot start due to restrictions - crashreporter.exe [DefaultBox]

Hope this info helps!

 

DjKilla, I am not experiencing the issue between Firefox and Sandboxie (because I am on an older version of SBIE Classic and I am still on Firefox 103.0.2), but one thing that I have been doing for many years to avoid getting the type of messages that you copy pasted in your post is to disable the 3 settings in FirefoxTools>Settings>Privacy & Security>Firefox Data Collection and Use. Unticking this options has also (IMO) considerably helped the compatibility between SBIE and Firefox. I don't know if disabling this settings will help solve this new issue but you could test and see.



Bo

 

for the firefox issue please try the workaround implemented in 1.5.0: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/v1.5.0

 

@plat

No Sandboxie-errors using Firefox 106.0 with v1.5.0. I'll report back later if the crashes are solved too.

 

Looking good, no crash after 26 minutes.
