[Read me] Change SBIE Config for Firefox v17+ Users

[StealthyBoi]

With the official release of Firefox 17, a new sub-folder is created for anti-phishing use.

XP location:

C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\safebrowsing

Vista/Win 7 location (Win 8 not known) should be:

C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\safebrowsing

The "safebrowsing" folder contains multiple files with extensions like:

.pset, .sbstore, .hashkey, .cache

The current Sandboxie anti-phishing template for Firefox does not allow the contents of the "safebrowsing" folder to be saved out of the sandbox, so until that template can be updated, I recommend that users of Fx17 give 'firefox.exe' a direct access setting for the entire "safebrowsing" folder after they update the program.

Notes:

- The "safebrowsing" folder does not exist until Firefox is updated to version 17.

- I don't know if future Waterfox or Palemoon versions will also use a "safebrowsing" folder, so the following Direct Access setting specifies 'firefox.exe'. (In the case of Waterfox or Palemoon, you would substitute that program's .exe name in place of 'firefox.exe')

[Method 1]

Sandbox Settings > Resource Access > File Access > Direct Access

"Add Program" button: firefox.exe

"Add" button: Navigate to the "safebrowsing" folder, located as above, and select the folder.

OK

[Method 2]

A new Firefox anti-phishing template (for Fx17 and earlier), for inclusion in future updates to 'templates.ini' (located @ SBIE install dir):

(For most people: those whose Firefox profile folders are all located in the default location underneath %USERPROFILE%)

[Template_Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess]

Tmpl.Title=#4337,Firefox/Waterfox/Pale Moon

Tmpl.Class=WebBrowser

ProcessGroup=<FirefoxPrograms>,firefox.exe,waterfox.exe,palemoon.exe

OpenFilePath=<FirefoxPrograms>,%USERPROFILE%\*\urlclassifier.pset

OpenFilePath=<FirefoxPrograms>,%USERPROFILE%\*\urlclassifier*.sqlite*

OpenFilePath=<FirefoxPrograms>,%USERPROFILE%\*\cert8.db

OpenFilePath=<FirefoxPrograms>,%USERPROFILE%\*\blocklist.xml

OpenFilePath=<FirefoxPrograms>,%USERPROFILE%\*\safebrowsing\*

---

[Method 3]

An (alternate) Local Template for those who (like me) may have Firefox profile(s) located at non-default locations:

(Specifies firefox.exe only; not written for use with Waterfox or Palemoon)

Sandbox Settings > Applications > Local

"Create New", Paste:

[Template_Local_Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess]

Tmpl.Title=My Firefox Phishing Direct Access

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\blocklist.xml

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\cert8.db

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\urlclassifier*.sqlite*

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\urlclassifier.pset

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,*\safebrowsing\*

Tmpl.Class=Local
