Hi,
I was using firefox within sandboxes for a while without perm. home
directory.
To store bookmarks, addons and so on, I started to use perm. homedir (-H).
Because firefox does not allow multiple concurrent sessions (lock on
.mozilla) it is not possible to open multiple websites when specifying
the same sandbox homedir, hence I'm looking for a possibility to open
new websites within a running sandbox from outside.
Without sandboxes everyone can open new websites in a running firefox
instance using:
firefox -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org)"
sandbox scenario:
1. step:
start firefox:
sandbox -X -H homedir -T tempdir -t sandbox_web_t -l s0:c100,c100 firefox
2. step:
sandbox -H homedir -T tempdir -t sandbox_web_t -l s0:c100,c100 firefox
-remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org)"
My current attempts fail because I'm unable use the '-l' option
(#632377) but would the policy allow the 'firefox -remote' command if
type and security level matches with the already running sandbox?
For the record:
Josh posted a while ago a simple method for opening a new tab in an
existing sandbox:
