Sandboxie is a security program not a private browsing feature. You can use it to sandbox every program or file you run in your computer. Running your browser is just one function you can do with SBIE. By the way, I posted in this thread to help people with sound issues in Firefox not for promoting SBIE.

Bo

The sound issue is due to the windows Builds 17063 not a Firefox issue, as for Sandboxie I know what it is and I have never had a use for it. Private Browsing is a more secure way to use a Browser.

Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history | Firefox Help

PSA: If you use Firefox, don't upgrade to 17063 (It breaks sound playback) : Windows10


Windows Audio quality guy here, we're on it
EDIT: figured it out, working on a fix
EDIT2: got a fix working, adding tests to stop this from happening again
EDIT3: made a Feedback Hub collection for this with an official response https://aka.ms/Fpb330
EDIT4: fix reached mainline, builds 17073 and later should work

Yes Josey I noticed that, currently running version 58 b16 so it'll be v59 beta builds for me soon :)

As an aside 58 beta 16 seems even faster than previous builds.
