Avast Pro Sandbox issue

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello I’ve been a long time avast free antivirus user and really loved the product…So I decided to give a try to avast Pro antivirus. So far the only really new thing is the sandbox and it is a very interesting concept…Not sure how it is helping since I haven’t really had an issue of virus (and I hope it stays that way), but i am sure it will come in handy.

Now my real problem is setting up firefox to run in sandbox mode. I put firefox in sandbox mode but after that flash player stopped working for me…
This has not happened with internet explorer even though I have internet explorer running in sandbox mode. Nor does it happen with Safari.

Some addons are disabled in firefox, chrome when using with sandbox.

And here is a small video(screencast link) where you can see how sandbox helps : http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59799.0

This happens to me, about 20% of the time. Just re-running Firefox works for me, not always on 1st retry, but before too long.
If that doesn’t work for you, try: Open Avast!>RealtimeShields>ProcessVirtualization>ExpertSettings. Check the box that says “All Settings (inc. extensions, add-ons, etc.)”

This is just a work-around, makes the sandbox not quite as secure, but it lets my flash and other video elements load 100% of the time.
Fix for this is supposed to come with ver. 5.1

i hope it can be fixed soon it’s annoying to check if flash is working or not every time i start firefox in avast sandbox
