How do I save bookmarks in Waterfox (sandboxed)?
Are there any plans to add this browser to Sandboxies applications list?
Thanks.

If Waterfox is based on Firefox then you can try this,
open Sandbox Settings > Resource Access > File Access > Direct Access,
click Add and paste:
*\bookmark*
click Add again and paste:
*\places*

If you can confirm this works correctly, we can then try to narrow down these settings.

You might wanna set DirectAccess to

instead of those two, that tzuk noted

Thanks, I will give a try and report back.

Thanks tzuk, that works. Will you add this program to the "web browser list" in SBIE? http://waterfoxproject.org/

Blackbeat, What will this add? Excuse the dumb question. Thanks.

I see it's essentially a drop-in replacement for Firefox and uses the same data so perhaps I'll update the settings for Firefox at some point to also apply to Waterfox.

Hey, so which would be better/SAFER

the first suggestion or the profiles folder?

I don't want to compromise anything, i just need my bookmarks to not be deleted once i close the sandbox, and i like to keep certain cookies that i set to not delete with CCLeaner.

Allowing only access to the bookmarks is safer - the first suggestion.
Still, I would have taken that suggestion a little bit further, and only allowed Waterfox to be able to use either one of those suggestions.

I recently read in a different thread that Waterfox now uses the name 'waterfox.exe', so if that's the case with your version I would use the "Add Program" button to specify "waterfox.exe" before using either of the above suggestions.

I have some local templates for Waterfox if you're interested in trying them. They are modified from tzuk's Firefox templates, in the 'templates.ini' file.
They depend on Waterfox keeping the same names for files that Firefox uses.
Example: 'places.sqlite' for bookmarks and history, and storing bookmark backups in: 'bookmarkbackups\bookmarksxxxxxx.json' files.

They would be added to your Sandboxie configuration file via:
Sandbox Settings > Applications > Local > Create New
until tzuk adds Waterfox to the pre-defined templates.

Also, since I don't have a 64-bit system, or Waterfox, they haven't been tried.

Agreed with Guest10 that allowing only access to the bookmarks is safer (the first suggestion) but given that if you want more flexibility, eg. cookies, extensions, etc, allowing access to the profile folder would be a small trade-off to make.

Im willing to try it if its not too compromising.

The add ons im used to disabling and then installing.

Now i just need my cookies to be accesible so i can keep certain ones

These are modified from the Firefox templates that are included in tzuk's templates.ini file.

Use Sandbox Settings > Applications > Local > "Create New" button
Paste one template at a time into the window.
Add only those templates that you are sure you will be using.

After that, apply the templates to the sandbox(es) where you will use them:
Sandbox Settings > Applications > Local > "Add" button

Please note that these templates do NOT show under Applications > Web Browser, but under Applications > Local
Also, I'm not familiar with Waterfox so I don't know if they still use the same file names that Firefox uses.

I can't include a template to allow direct access to the entire Waterfox profile because I don't know the path to that folder.
Possibly, its: %AppData%\Mozilla\Waterfox\Profiles\(profile name) ??

Mine is here

C:\Users\Computer\AppData\Roaming\mozilla\firefox\Profiles\aja47.default

Thanks, ive made these changes.



Im not compromising much am i

I dont know if phishing databate should be allowed or not, i guess it needs to be kept up to date right?

If they now call the .exe 'waterfox.exe' instead of 'firefox.exe' I guess I expected the above folder name to be different.
Maybe it would be for a new install.
Possibly, you had an existing install of Waterfox before the .exe name was changed, so they used the same path to the profile folder?

No, not as far as security is concerned.
From a privacy standpoint, only the cookies and the browsing history need some thought.
You mentioned that you use CCleaner for cookie control, so the browsing history is the only item left to be considered.
Firefox could delete browsing history or limit how long it was retained, so I assume that Waterfox can do the same.Assuming that it still uses the same name as Firefox (urlclassifier3.sqlite) then yes, that template should be used.
The file is typically located under:
%Local AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.Default\
C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.Default\urlclassifier3.sqlite

It also allows the program to keep up to date the Mozilla list of blocked extensions (blocklist.xml), and it's database of valid or compromised certificates (cert8.db).
