I’ve added the download folder to the exclusion list of the virtualized processes (D:\Install*).
Firefox is set to save files to that folder also.
But I can’t save any downloaded file.
Is it how a sandboxed browser should work?
It’s make me think sandboxing is not for me… Do people never download? : ???
Hi Tech
I have FF 3.6.6 installed & sandboxed
I have FF using the default download folder
I use IDM without any problem
I also tried the ‘alt’ key override for IDM to force FF to download itself - it did and into the usual folder
Could it be due to your non-default folder
Well, is the option “Automatically detect default locations for saved/downloaded files and save files to these locations outside the sandbox” checked? If it’s not then all downloads will be sandboxed/virtualized and never reach your computer. You can leave it on if you want to virtualize downloads intentionally. (For example, if you want to download a suspicious file, you should virtualize the download and scan it in the sandbox before actually downloading it to your system)
Sure it is.
I do not have a problem of download the file (as Web Shield should take care of it). My problem would be at execution.
Anyway, I need to have the file downloaded first… If I got nothing, no download, there is a problem with (my) sandbox.
I have same Problem with Google Chrome. I only want sandbox to Virtulize my downloaded files when I hit “save on Desktop.” So, I could just download whatever I want, and save it on desktop, run it, and have it 24/7 in a Sandbox.
Cheers!

I have same Problem with Firefox 3.68 and AVAST 5.0.594.
The option “Automatically detect default locations for saved/downloaded files and save files to these locations outside the sandbox” is CHECKED. The JPG, GIF, TXT-Files are downloaded and i can see these files in the Windows-Explorer (User\Own Data\Downloads). But i can’t see EXE, MSI and ZIP-Files. These can i see only in the Sandbox-Mode, but not in Windows-Explorer. With MS IE 8 i have not problems.
My System: Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit. Sorry, my English!
I still dont understand it :S i have that auto detect and save outside the sandbox ticked, but still i dont know where my downloads go. anyway i downloaded a torrent file while the browser was running in sandbox mode, then i opened it and apparently it opened the torrent download software also in sandbox mode but i didnt notice it, anyway its done downloading now, but can someone tell me how to access them ? how can we access the files stored in the sandbox ?
