Try this as a test:
Use the Firefox shortcut on your Start menu to start Firefox sandboxed, like this: Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > then right-click Mozilla Firefox and choose "Run Sandboxed" P.S. I assume you installed your theme and add-ons while Firefox was not sandboxed. That would be the best way, unless you just wanted to try them out by installing them while sandboxed. If you install a theme or add-on while Firefox is sandboxed, these additions will be trapped in the sandbox unless you give Sandboxie unrestricted access (through OpenFilePath) to your Firefox profile folder. I still don't know why the safe mode, though - unless the shortcut icon you are using has "-safe-mode" appended to the shortcuts Target field: Right click on the icon you use to launch the application, go to "Properties", and make sure the "Target" field does not have -safe-mode on the end. Also, if nothing else helps, I would revert to the default theme and try it. |

it was the deleting everything in which made everything launch fine. i had installed windows xp only due to printer driver not being able to run my system,and a minimum 10 gig hd that cant fit wine,a vm, or other printer solutions. Now i wonder if this does what it says i wont need any adware or even a firewall or any other security right ? as long as i stay in the box while im online i should be okay or not ?

Sorry, I was editing my last post when you replied. Glad to hear it works now.
As far as other things like a firewall, or anti-spyware or A\V, there are some on this forum that say they no longer use them. For me, I still use them. If you recover something outside of the sandbox, and later your A/V program is updated it may save you. I advocate keeping them, but don't go overboard and load up on a lot of them. Windows can support only a limited number of security programs running at the same time. |
