Cannot 'login' to Google Toolbar in Firefox Using Sandboxie

I am using windows Vista and find that when I run Firefox with Sandboxie I cannot login to use the features of the Google Toolbar such as my bookmarks or the option to preview what new messages I have by clicking the mail envelope. Interestingly, these options work in Internet Explorer 7. Any ideas as to why this would be the case. I've enable running as UAC administrator and have been through all the other options but cannot determine what I might be missing. Any assistance would be appreciated.

As a follow up to my previous post, I don't have this problem with Sandboxie (version 3.30 btw) on another computer running XP. I imagine this has something to do with file permissions or the like, but I am not sure which. I have looked through the solved issues forum, or at least the first few pages and did a search on the forums to see if there was a solution to this, but couldn't find anything on point.

Before I will look into this, please check if Sandboxie 3.31.14 improves anything for you.

As you requested I installed the latest beta version (did an overwrite installation, did not uninstall the old version first) and this had no impact on the problems I'm having.

Thanks for trying with the latest beta. You say the problem remains, so I will look into this soon and post an update.

I tried to reproduce the problem but had no problem logging into Google through the toolbar.
I used Firefox 3.0.3 on Windows Vista running under Sandboxie 3.31.16.
I clicked the round green button at the far right of the toolbar and logged in.
I then went on to Manage Bookmarks and it seemed to work.
So I don't know what to tell you, unless you use Firefox 2, which I haven't tried.

OK, at the time I upgraded, the latest version was 3.31.14. I'll try version .16 to see if that changes anything. I am using version 3.0.3 of Firefox, and the Google toolbar functions work normally when running normally. I'll try uninstalling Sandboxie entirely and upgrading to the latest beta version.

I downloaded the latest version and still no joy. This works just fine with Internet Explorer, but not at all with Firefox, which is just weird. If anyone comes up with any ideas as to why, please let me know.

Color me confused - now it works and I'm not sure exactly why. I did check the selection in the sandbox controls to delete the contents of the sandbox after closing the program under the Invocation page - not sure if that's why or not because I don't remember if I set this this way last time. I'm just glad it's working.
