    Sandboxie 4.02 issue with Firefox

    I updated my version of Sandboxie from version 3.76 to 4.02 recently and I am facing an issue with it.

    I use it with Firefox 22 and Sandboxie crashes when I download a file or select to upload one. It gives me an error code but it doesn't really help

    The files I am trying to save and upload are JPEGs and PNGs for blogging.

    When I click on the upload button in wordpress, it brings up the file select screen, and just turns the popup to a white window, sort of like freezing it. And the only option I get when clicking on cancel or the close button is "Firefox has stopped responding, Wait or close the app" and I have to close it.

    This is the same with saving files too. It does not happen always though, only when I have the browser running for an hour or more, so i am guessing it may be a memory leak or something.

    Edit: The error i get is something like "Failed to communicate with Sandboxie". I will try to get a screenshot and possibly the error code and later downgrade to 3.76
    I use Tab mix plus to save my sessions, but still this is very annoying and interferes with my work.

    Ok, this stuff usually happens to me when I use google chrome. It is because chrome is already sandboxed by default sandboxie and chrome have issues.

    In firefox this may happen when you are using a flash or Java based uploader as FF by default sandboxes these two plugins. Its better to contact Tzuk the developer of sandboxie.

    It also happens with downloads. I checked their forums, there are a lot of bugs and the developer has asked users to revert to 3.76 if they have problems with 4.02.
