if i kill the sandboxed FF, the updating and adding files stops in the non-sandboxed one, so there seems to be an interaction across the sandbox boundaries. checking the properties/security of the non-sandboxed NoScriptSTS.db showed that something was locking it when a sandboxed FF was running. i up...

yes, they persist.

i run 2 copies of FF, one in sandboxie and one not. the one in the sandbox has 2 NS files: NoScriptSTS.db 209bytes NoScriptSTS.db-12.tmp empty both files update every 15 minutes the non sandboxed FF has NoScriptSTS.db 209bytes and many NoScriptSTS.db-xxxx.tmp files, all 209 bytes a new one is added ...

a couple of things i forgot to mention: i'm running firefoxportable and i'm running it under dropmyrights.
i did try it in safe mode, and without dropmyrights, still has the same problem.
i guess i don't know how to create a separate profile.

ever since some recent noscript updates, i'm having trouble downloading from some sites. eg. when i click the link to download any of the versions of rkill from http://www.technibble.com/rkill-repair-tool-of-the-week/ i get a zero size file in my sandbox folder. i'm running sandboxie 3.42; xp pro sp...
