Hardened Sandbox with Data Protection - App can't run the default browser to open an URL

hmm... now that i think about it it amkes sense in old windows builds most file associations were set globally for all users, but since many many years mroe and moe stuf is configured in the users registry so more often then not the file/url associations will need access to some part of the users registry.
I'll look into adding this then

 

On a portable app, portable CCleaner for instance, when I click on the Help button it launches my portable Firefox in its red box with the following msg:

Code:

FirefoxPortable.exe (3604): SBIE2321 Cannot manage device map:  [C0000034 / 11]

Browser launches normally and opens the requested page, no issues at all, it's just that error msg.

 

Disable Force Rules / Sandboxie-Plus 1.9.2

Portable Firefox ESR (red box)

When clicking on
Sandbox > Sandbox Presets > Disable Force Rules

then run Firefox ESR

Splash screen shows up one second then disappears with the following sbie error

Code:

firefox.exe (13264): SBIE1231 Initialization failed for process  [C0000001 / A4]
PID 2964: SBIE2314 Cancelling process firefox.exe

Using global 'Pause Forcing Programs' works as expected and as usual.

 

> then run Firefox ESR

please elaborate run how? using a start.exe link, using run in the sandboxed UI, using run sandboxed in explorer?

 

• Download Firefox ESR Portable
• Unzip into a folder in a different partition other than C: (system partition)
• ForceProcess=FirefoxPortable.exe
• ForceProcess=firefox.exe
• Sandbox container is in a RAMdisk
• Double click on FirefoxPortable.exe

 

problem is not Firefox, its the starter. the starter is a complex code built on nsis, in fact too long and complicated. user can check it with a test:
\portable folder\firefox.exe -profile <folder_to_profile>

if it happens again, its sandboxie, if not, its the starter.
(which is crap from my point of knowledge)

 

@DavidXanatos you know what? Ditch what I wrote above. I found the cause.

I completely forgot my other Tor Browser sandbox in existence

Firefox ESR ini

Code:

ForceProcess=FirefoxPortable.exe
ForceProcess=firefox.exe

Tor Browser ini

Code:

ForceProcess=firefox.exe

When both boxes are enabled all works just fine. Oh god, worked fine I've just found out. Dunno what happened.


Disable Force Rules=y for Firefox ESR box throws the error described above. Disabling Tor Browser box fix it.
Obviously there's a conflict caused

OK, I'm gonna try to fix this mess both boxes conflicting each other.

 

could you define a list of rules that have the same effect but avoid wildcards from the begining only at the back is fine

 

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FileAssociations
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations

 

Do those lines cover the functions of the following ones?

TIA @busy

 

No. Those three keys have already been added to the Templates.ini file.

 

Then deleted, and then re-added along with your six keys
