    Up and running!
    Does v1.6.6 also include the changes/fixes from v1.6.5 (that was pulled last week)?

    Hmm, could it be unique to Windows 11? The freezing is not there in Firefox 108/Windows 10/Sandboxie 1.6.6 all day, every day.

    Same two ini settings also. I will check this issue on my Windows 11 drive when I feel like installing it.

    @DavidXanatos :
    Should I first reset to SB 1.52 to check whether the error:
    "UseprivacyMode = Y compatibility with Windows 7 #2423 fixed"
    has to do with it, or do I not have to test it?

    The problem reported in https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/2588 was for Firefox 108 on Windows 10. It reported random startup failures for Firefox 108 that began with SBIE+ 1.5.3. It fails to start properly 1 out of every 10 to 20 startups.

    The problem is associated with UsePrivacyMode=y. The github report was recently updated to include finding that the problem appears to be related to WriteFilePath=drive entries (which Sandboxie generates behind the scenes for UsePrivacyMode=y) combined with programs that initiate multiple processes (like firefox) on startup. The problem went away by changing UsePrivacyMode to 'n', adding ClosedFilePath=drive entries and adding UseRuleSpecificity=y. Refer to the github problem report for more information.
