I've been using the Mozilla browser since it was called Phoenix. Version 5 is my first foray into its portable iteration. I use FF heavily for commerce and banking and verified all was A-OK especially with my security layering. I began to run it in Sandboxie and again all was A-OK *except* for urlclassifier3.sqlite. It does not update at all. I do notice urlclassifierkey3.txt occasionally getting written meaning that the operation is functional but the sqlite file isn't appended. I wasn't able to gain a solution at the Sandboxie forum. Any ideas? Thanks!

Why are you using Sandboxie? Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is all that you need. It is portable in itself.
I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1
I greatly appreciate your verification that Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is portable. When I downloaded it from PortableApps, watched it extract all into one folder and ran it from that one folder I did find myself wondering, "Is this portable?"
As to your question about Sandboxie, see sandboxie dot com.
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is *ALL* I need? Interesting; I wasn't aware of that. Please explain portable's protection for the host system against Web-born PUAs and the latest crop of ransomware given possible failures by Mozilla's resident Phishing and Attack site protection (as enabled by the two Options > Security > "Block reported..." settings)? And would portable's protection be effective against MITM vectors?
BTW, as interesting (and off-topic) as this discussion could become, can you contribute to my original posting or not? Thanks!!
In the meantime, I've come to notice that the urlclassifier3.sqlite does update when I bring my computer out of standby first thing in the morning. But, again, it's not updated until the next standby/bring-out-of-standby cycle.
Regards to all.
