Is it safe to use firefox in the layer for browsing, I mean can it function like Sanboxie or Geswall ??

 

Hi cheep welcome to the forums .

Unless things have changed in the past few years, SVS isn't intended to be used as security software. See https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=155663&page=5 for some further reading.

 

I see ....
Thank you for the info

 

I've use SVS for a long time and while it undoubtedly will increase security running a web browser within a layer (not least the ability to 'reset' which ensures a clean browser for surfing);it wasn't specifically designed for that purpose.From a security perspective Sandboxie is always the way to go,of course SVS/SWV has many uses and is well worth installing.
