Calling Flashorn. Now i can flood the forums all I want without intruding other people's discussions .





How do I set Firefox to be opened automatically when clicking on the main "Sandboxied Web Browser"? Internet Explorer seems to be opening by default.

[Flashorn]

Hey techie!!



I'm so sorry, I got a call from my youngest at 10:15 pm, she needed a ride

from the Grey Hound station.

OK, This is a very simple question . Thank You , Thank You, Thank You!



You don't even have to start Sandboxie. As long as you have it installed ,

you Right Click on the Firefox Icon and "Run Sandboxed" . I'll show you:

No problem :D

Hang on cowboy, when you install Sandboxie there is also an icon loaded on your desktop called Sandboxed Web Browser. What I'm trying to do (Rather than right clicking and running Firefox Sandboxie) is to make a setup so that Firefox always opens up Sandboxed without having to right click. There's a way to do it to all programs but I've forgotten.

TFF - set your default browser as fired fox and then that icon will load fired fox sandboxed automatically. It wont work if your are unlucky. sandboxie seems to be a bit buggy with some features and this way it may or may not work. So try this and post back.

If it does then fine , otherwise a little geeky way. hehe .later . First try this.

[techie4fun]

firefox is set as the default browser.

[piyushsingh]

See the buggy sandboxie. It worked for me this way one time and later refused to work. For Opera ofcourse.



Ok, the workaround. Right click the icon on the desktop that you have for default sandbox brower. Go to the shortcut tab . In the target box , you will see some text. Delete "default_browser" in the end from there and add the path for your fired fox browser there. Apply and OK.
The final target should be like - "C:Program FilesSandboxieStart.exe" X:Program Filesxxxxxxxfirefox.exe where X - is your path.

Thanks for the quick refresh. I've used that trick in the past but forgot all about it. NOW IT WORKS

[piyushsingh]

I m glad that i clicked your refresh button. hehe

[Flashorn]

Hey techie!!



Glad all worked out. I guess by using Firefox by default on my notebook I don't have to

use the right click option. I thought that you knew about it. But since you now have it as default,

it should come up every time.

If it didn't work for Piyush , it's because he uses the wannabe Firefox browser.

If you read the posts again , you will notice that it worked fine with me and not with techie. He had already set up ff as default but it wasnt working. Thats what we were discussing.

[Flashorn]

Hey Piyush!!



Piyush , you explain everything SOOOO well.



GOTCHA!!!!!

LOL @ Adama's comment.
I use IE7 a lot but only when i m not on Opera. Absolutely no FF here. hehe. Good news for all IE lovers. IE8 beta2 will be there by the end of this month and final release will also be there this year. :)

OFF TOPIC

I guess it's time to reset my MSFT automatic upgrades/downloads, so that I can view and OK them before they're actually downloaded, huh?

Unless they're going to give everybody the option to upgrade or not....???

BACK ON TOPIC

What does Firefox mean?

Hmmm, don't you know? It's a Foxy Fox on Fire!!!!

LOL :x
