    Morning All.

    I have had an issue with FF 112/112.01 and SBIE-Plus 1.90 the past few days...

    Within sandboxed Firefox I can't bookmark anything, just can't using any method of bookmarking, either the star icon, CTR+D or "bookmark current tab" in the bookmarks menu.

    If I run FF un-sandboxed, no issues, bookmarking functions as normal, and/or if I exit FF sandboxed and re-boot, bookmarking returns to normal.

    I have no idea how to diagnose this problem, or what changes to SBIE-Plus I need to make.

    I've run all the standard FF diagnostics, there is nothing in my configuration that points to a FF issue. And, there are no issues running un-sandboxed FF.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thank you, in advance...

    Without knowing your installation details, but assuming the executible is firefox.exe,
    the profile folder is named "profile", and the box in which it is run is Rbox
    and assuming that Rbox is set to autodelete and is empty (nothing running):

    Open the Plus GUI, double-click on Rbox, click on "edit ini section" (example image attached)
    Sbie_GUI.png
    Add these lines at the end:

    OpenFilePath=firefox,*\profile\bookmark*
    OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\profile\places*
    OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\profile\favicons*

    Hit Save (top right), then click OK (bottom right).

    Launch firefox sandboxed, save some bookmarks, close firefox.
    Relaunch (sandboxed or unsandboxed) to confirm that bookmarks are saved.
    If it works, the openfilepath restrictions can be tightened further.
    If not, others will likely offer more suggestions.

    It is Firefox.exe, yes...

    I will try this and let you know how it goes...

    Thank you very much.
