Beta 5.23.1 was released a couple days ago. It fixed the Firefox template for Bookmarks, broken for saving favicons out of the sandbox after Firefox recent changes in the way it saves favicons.

Changes in 5.23.1
1) Added support for Firefox Favicons (Right-click on your Sandbox --> Sandbox Settings--> Applications ---> Web Browser ---> Firefox --> Allow direct access to Firefox bookmark and history database).
2) Addressed an issue in which Chrome v64 dev/Canary were crashing when Sandboxed [viewtopic.php?p=130933#p130933]

5.23 Beta Available - Sandboxie Support

Nice version. Works good in Windows 10.

I'm still waiting for Sandboxie to be able to work with microsofts EDGE browser......Right now the only 2 browsers I'm using are FF57 & EDGE.

I like FF57 best right now and am just trying out EDGE but I don't want to keep trying it without being able to sandbox it.

This seems to be working:

Turn off Norton Exploit Prevention-setting.

Norton>Settings >Firewall >Intrusion and Browser Protection>Exploit Prevention set to off.

Sandboxing Firefox 57 works very well. Thats my browser. Never a problem that cant be solved. But sandboxing Edge with Sandboxie can not be done. Edge is an Univrsal app isolated by App container. Sandboxie is not compatible with Universal apps. So, dont even try it. Perhaps in the future, but not now.

Note: If you are using W10, for better compatibility between Sandboxie and tomorrows Windows updates, do the update to 5.24 before updating Windows. During the weekend I had a PM conversation with the Sandboxie Lead developer who told me that "MS has been holding back (blocking) those Win 10 KB's that break Sandboxie on machines that have Sandboxie installed. They are going to remove those blocks on Tuesday's updates. So people using Win 10 that don't upgrade to 5.24 will BSOD when they install the MS updates."

Personally, I haven't had any issue in my W10 ever, no BSOD or noticed my W10 not being offered updates when they are expected. I am keeping track of all W10 updates and there's only one that I know of that I did not get as soon as it became available, it was one of the Servicing Stack released since July when I got the computer, but eventually got it automatically. Other than that, only January's update I had to download the package to install it, but that was because at the time, I did not have the now required Registry key. I dont use AV but enable Windows defender for a few hours after Windows updates to maintain it properly, on January 17th, I enabled WD and now I have the key.

But anyway, if you are using Sandboxie in W10, it behooves you to update the program to stable version 5.24, released today.
