I have left that parameter to be freely customizable by the end user. While I don't use the awesome bar at all, so I keep it set to 0, some might use it. So it's up to the user, whether he wants to use that feature or not. You can set it to 12 or to 1, or even disabling it completely by setting it to 0. Up to you, if you need it or not.

Good to hear you got Sandboxie working @Vistapocalypse . I couldn't recall if SB 5.26 was working before I installed the Meltdown/Spectre patches, but looking back at my posts, apparently it was . I have dozens of SB installers saved locally. If you want, I can upload the 32bit installer for 5.26, and you can see if that works instead of the combined one. I really wouldn't worry using any of the older 5.2x releases. The last known security vulnerability was patched in v.5.04, and AFAIK any updates since, were for compatibility issues. So unless you run into those, you should be fine. Although you haven't confirmed, I get the gist that you passed on the Meltdown/Spectre patches. If so, possibly this may be your issue with recent versions of SB?. Can't be 100%, but I doubt 7-Zip would cause any major hiccups. Barb's reply in the thread you linked to was spot on. There was a time, back in v.4 when MS Visual C++ redistributable libraries were installed as a separate download, but that was short lived. I was still using v3.76 back then, and by the time I eventually upgraded, v.4.16 had since been released, and the separate VC download no longer needed. So I've never had to have a separate MS Visual C++ Redistributable installed for SB to work, but IIRC, when I replaced the graphics card on my Vista system recently, the Nvidia driver did install a VC Redistributable. I'll have to check. This was before I upgraded SB to v5.30, though I doubt it made a difference. Can't say I've ever heard of any .NET Framework requirements for SB, always just had the default .NET 2 & 3 here. No harm in trying an Upgrade Install with 5.24, if it doesn't work out, you can easily downgrade again using the same method with the 5.22 installer. Should be straightforward, and quick. - Ruan

Banned per user request (not to mention Rules # 2.a, 7.a and 7.b, of course).

I suppose Mozilla developers conceived them to have a sort of "one size fits all" configuration. So, instead of having potential instabilities with some machines, they preferred to set the browsers' behaviour to be slow but stable on most of the platforms (think of it as a "failsafe mode") for better compatibility, and then it would be up to the end user to tweak the browser to suit his needs. And thanks God it can be heavily tweaked, or else web browsing on old machines would be impossible: Chrome and its derivatives on my overclocked Tualatin runs awfully compared to Firefox 45 ESR SSE and the other Roytam1's browsers. Now to make things better we would need someone who can mod ATI drivers to get better performance out of Firefox and derivatives... Unfortunately a "UOC Patch" for ATI Catalyst drivers is something I can't do. 😛

I agree with @win32; they're probably sniffing the OS version in the user-agent string. Why they suddenly think that matters is beyond me. "Not supported" should merely mean, "if it doesn't work, don't call us;" it shouldn't mean "we're going to deliberately lock you out." In FF 52 or one of its derivatives, go to about:config and try setting general.useragent.override to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.9 That will tell them you're using 32-bit Firefox, version 60.9, on 64-bit Windows 7.

Thanks, It should now be fixed in Beta 3.
