When I run portable LibreWolf 113.0.1-1 x64 in a red box, I get the following errors: Code: dejsonlz4.exe (944): SBIE1231 Initialization failed for process [C0000001 / A4] PID 2832: SBIE2314 Cancelling process dejsonlz4.exe Code: NormalFilePath=E:\LibreWolf\* If I add one line, it works: Code: NormalFilePath=E:\LibreWolf\* NormalFilePath=R:\Container\LibreWolf\* Although I want to know whether there is another more appropriate solution. TIA
There is no such program in the official portable version of LibreWolf. Either remove that program or define a rule according to where it is running.
There is, when you launch LibreWolf-Portable.exe its mechanism creates a temporary exe called dejsonlz4.exe at Code: R:\Container\LibreWolf\user\current\AppData\Local\Temp\ It is, so it seems, a temporary executable to assist in the main program launch. Thanks for taking the time to assist me on this.
with this Code: NormalFilePath=R:\Container\LibreWolf\* If you set start restriction, the EXE extracted into the sandbox will not start. Also, creating rules with sandboxed paths doesn't seem like the correct usage to me.
dejsonlz4 is part of the portableapps crap of any firefox derivate, librewolf is fake and unsecure. from my knowledge its a console command file, forget the bits. at least its not needed to run any firefox as portable. dejsonlz4 is used to decompress LZ4 files from firefox, in special "addonStartup.json.lz4" without needs. there was time when firefox had issues but now nowerdays, a never ending issue from portableapps without needs. i consider this as a sequel to your other question about the portable starter where i answered you. its starter is very questionable, very bloated and non-functional in lot of parts. a matter of the used scripting engine, look source folder. i gave you the mission to obtain a better starter. i only can tell you that the starters (all starters) from PA have unresolved issues. if you want to know about the used switches in librecrap that are usable in firefox (user.js) you just have to ask. from my view librewolf is a very stupid build, only gathering its sheep with marketing gags. PS my latest working with dejsonlz4, month ago, discovered it as non-functional, because mozilla changed LZ4 compression. LZ4 is 7-zip based. 7-zip is also used on other files from firefox, the usage is very special to get max performance for firefox. external change may end in less performance.
@ mission Did two quick searches, one "starter for portable firefox" and "launcher for portable firefox" and mr.google didn't throw anything useful only references to portableapps.com, "crap" according to you. So why don't you share a link or two at better launcher/starter alternatives? Which portable FF derivative you consider secure?
The following line works too plus it allows dejsonlz4.exe to stay in the Temp folder. Code: NormalFilePath=%TEMP%\dejsonlz4.exe Do you think is appropriate or not @busy ?
@Mr.X Normally, such a rule should not be needed, but if it works for you, you can use it. It may be an error due to RamDisk (ImDisk) usage. Code: NormalFilePath=\Device\ImDisk*\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX%\* or Code: NormalFilePath=\Device\ImDisk*
none. precisely enough? the overall problem to any portable program is that its usage is outside windows security. its a general misunderstanding to portables, so its not only you. for the "dejsonlz4.exe" - delete it from folder, it has no impact when not present (i wrote above). the problem about the starter and/or portablesapps is the purpose of that page, to offer portable versions of programs, you use installed on your home computer. as this example point out there is more behind that the starter will show you, and thus you experience issues. i have worked a lot on portable programs and its starters, its much more complicated and you cant write a code base for all, not possible. for the starter, i dont offer a ready binary, only a script. i dont use NSIS in common, more AUTOIT. the simplest way to get firefox portable is Code: Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -profile profilefolder' where - starter.exe (or bat) |- \Firefox\ |- \profilefolder\ see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions you can compile any BAT to an EXE file for free. the sophisticated script looks like this (reduced code) Code: ;#include <WinAPIEx.au3> ;#include <array.au3> Global Const $firefox_exe = "Firefox.exe" Global Const $profilfolder = "profilefolder" Dim $COMMANDLINE, $profilfolderfull, $firefoxfull, $wow64, $mode ;read command line If $CMDLINE[0] Then $COMMANDLINE = $CMDLINE[1] $profilfolderfull = @ScriptDir & "\" & $profilfolder $firefoxfull = @ScriptDir & "\Firefox\" & $firefox_exe $mode = "-no-remote" ;set working dir / Arbeitsverzeichnis FileChangeDir (@ScriptDir) ;start firefox Select Case $mode = "-new-tab " ;run same portable with url Run($firefoxfull & " " & $mode & $COMMANDLINE) Case $mode = "-no-remote " ;another portable to run Run($firefoxfull & " " & $mode & "-profile " & $profilfolder & " " & $COMMANDLINE) Case $mode = "" ;regular first start Run($firefoxfull & " " & $mode & "-profile " & $profilfolder & " " & $COMMANDLINE) EndSelect Exit(0) ;find associated firefox with portable starter Func findprocess() ;some special code EndFunc ;end and this is not ready. and LibreWolf - really - is only using existing firefox switches. the facts: https://librewolf.net/ - telemetry, ofc possible but do not bother if your wishes dont come true telemetrie is NO spying, its just watching about the general behavior about used functions, maybe extensions to develop firefox "for the users". the most complaning users have disabled "telemetry", so they are not part of the croud to point in some direction what they want. - private search, firefox already has that, just chose the search engine to want to. - ublock - users are forced to use ublock, or they disable it and use another which makes LW futile. - "fast" updates - librewolf cannot deliver what mozilla has not developped, shame on LW further - LW has no updater, it needs another tool to update, Firefox dont need the maintencance service, but it has the possibility to update with ease. librewolf has NOTHING. - OpenSource - Firefox IS OpenSource. hosting on github or similar opensource is mandatory, no **** please. - enhanced privacy is only using switches, you can compare easyliy a standard firefox profile (prefs.js) with a profile from librewolf, this will show you the difference. ofc that differences are based on the code, you can set it with ease from true to false or anything you like to. there is no magic, i tell you, just ask. to notice: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases current state is 113.0.1, where firefox is on 113.0.2. current Librewolf has unresolved issues: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/113.0.2/releasenotes/ 3 days is not much, but if some user experience such issues, 3 days is too much. about "user.js", changes in librewolf, no magic Code: user_pref("browser.contentblocking.category", "strict");

you can research that entries yourself, not my job. but i can tell you now, that some of these settings are really nonsnse, and none of those have impact to performance. but some of them are lowering the security of browser, which is NOT handleable from any kind of other software. i forgot, policies.json which causes those entries: again, nothing has impact on performance
Rather than resort to portable apps is this not something that Sandboxie can/should be able to do? I have a load of sandboxes with software installed into them and they work fine. Once installed I take a snapshot (make it default) and then enable Auto delete. If there's an update I'll disable Auto delete, install the update, make another snapshot and then enable Auto delete again. I appreciate there's another level of complexity with browsers as you may want to retain bookmarks, history, the updated phishing database e.t.c. but is this not something that's worth looking into, or do the portable installations offer other benefits too?
