I think you mean the addon.mozilla.org sandbox. If you mean something else,
please specify.
1. Log in to a.m.o. (top right, on the same bar as the Search box). If you
don't have an a.m.o. account yet, you'll need to "register" first;
2. Click "Sandbox", left of the search bar. To get out of the sadbox, click
"Public".
Best regards,
Tony.

Hi There,
It says the following:
The add-on you're looking for is in the sandbox, which you do not have
enabled in your user preferences.

All right, well, click "My Account" then.
Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks Tony,
I thought the sandbox was something like the Java sandbox in IE. I
enabled it because I wanted to try the bookstack add-on but it's not
designed for FF 3.02.
Anyway, I hope they integrate some sort of functionality like "link pad"
in Netscape but I'm not getting my hopes up. You may remember me asking
for a "restart" button in FF long ago and now it's there so maybe
there's a way.
Bye for now

The AMO sandbox is just a place where they "park" extensions which haven't yet
veen "reviewed" for quality & security.
I've seen in another thread that something akin, but probably not identical,
to the NS linkpad is likely to be implemented (as an extension?); but I
didn'nt understand the details.
Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks but it won't run on 64 bit windows unfortunately. Oh well, will
remember for later on.

Is that what you were actually looking for?
Just so that everyone is on the same wavelength where did you hear
about the sandbox and what did you expect it to use it for, or expect
it to do, or to allow you run/find what.

Hello,
Yes at first I did not understand what the term "sandbox" meant in
relation to FF but then Tony made that clear. It wasn't what I thought
it was, it is just a marketing term and in relation to Mozilla Sandbox,
I will say I get very annoyed that there is no search function for
add-on's and the like and I hope others' share my concern.
About the program "sandboxie" it looks interesting. I never knew
something like that existed but in future I will try it with potentially
dangerous softs or risky endeavors but until it is 64 bit, like many
things out there I will have to wait.
Best regards

Hum, during my visits to the add-on site I have made use of the search
bar in the top right of the Fx or Tb add-on base pages. It is a white
bar that expands when mouse selected to type into it.

In answer to that part. Yep, they said they were going to improve
the search and other features of Addons and managed to do
quite the opposite. This is what I use to search, basically want
to do a search and avoid discussions or history type of stuff.
name: addons: Search for extensions at addons.mozilla.org/firefox
keyword: addons:
location:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=site%3Aaddons.mozilla.org+inurl%3Afirefox+install-now+-inurl%3Aen-US+-inurl%3Aapplication+-inurl%3Arecommended+-inurl%3Aversions+-inurl%3Aphp+%S
description: This is a Google search not the same as the one on the Search Bar for Addons
the second one does search two places and is less restrictive
keyword: addons2:
location:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%28site%3Aaddons.mozilla.org+inurl%3Afirefox%29+OR+site%3Amozdev.org+%S
I'll show what they actually resolve to:
site:addons.mozilla.org inurl:firefox install-now -inurl:en-US -inurl:application -inurl:recommended -inurl:versions -inurl:php %S
(site:addons.mozilla.org inurl:firefox) OR site:mozdev.org
Of course they do not make use of hidden fields that Mozilla has in the documents.
I had used a search engine with my own settings that was generated from the
advance search that Addons used to have, once they removed it the search
engine, of course, no longer worked.

The current Addons search bears little resemblance to it's former self.
Unfortunately I didn't save any pictures or HTML of the web page, but you used
to be able to include such things as, the biggest thing wrong was it
limited you to 50, if you were just kind of browsing looking for stuff.\
As soon as I posted how to search the new addons with the old site
engine and forms, they pulled the old site within 6 hours. Up until that time I had
managed to search old site server (95% got dumped into the sandbox
somewhere between March and May 2007)
Category: any, Type: Extensions, App: Firefox, Platform: Windows,

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ website, that in the very
least it will not find anything which is "sandboxed" which is annoying
because otherwise how would one know to sign up for any additional
information?
Tony Mechelynck
IIUC it finds only sandboxed addons when you're in the sandbox (the top bar is
striped yellow/grey) and only non-sandboxed ones when you're out of the
sandbox (top bar plain grey).
Best regards,
Tony.
