sandboxie and firefox automatic update!

Hi,

I was browsing in my firefox sandboxed with sandboxie and when I clicked 'about' under 'help' option, I noticed that firefox automatically updated itself and asks me to apply update.

Now if I apply update and then clean sandbox(eventually I've to), will the update disappear? If so what can I do as I rarely if not at all use firefox without being sandboxed?

live happy..
cheers..

 

Yes it will be deleted. You have to "disable forced programs" go into firefox update.

 

One of multiple reasons I dislike the automatic updates in Firefox.

 

Just disable automatic updates and when you find about new version then disable forced firefox in sandboxie, do the update and after that re-enable forced firefox.

 

yeah well I've disabled automatic updates of both ff and add-ons, disabled forced ff, updated and re-enabled forced ff.. it's very inconvenient..

thank you all for helping me..

 

Thankfully firefox doesn't have the every-other-day chrome updates.

 

Just open firefox outside the sandbox > Help > About > update

Meanwhile you can still surf thru the sandboxed browser while its updating.

 

I am surprised this works. I know that Firefox doesn't like having multiple instances running. If you try and start a second instance of Firefox, it will tell the first instance to just create a new top level window, and then kill the second instance.

 

I noticed that too. By the way, to solve this issue just make the entire FF profile accessible. You're not punching a big enough hole in Sandboxie to worry about.
