What happened?
BreakoutProcess option only works when a program already running in a sandbox spawns the indicated program.
But it doesn't work when executed from explorer.
I will be using 3 boxes althroughout the scenarios, indicating the important config sections from each box:
.
.
.
DefaultBox (Hardened)
MozillaFirefox (Hardened)
EpicGames (Standard)
.
.
.
Scenario 1
Epic Games is already running under "EpicGames" sandbox and I clicked a link from the Epic Games Launcher that will open the default browser, in my case it is Firefox. Since firefox.exe is set as a BreakoutProcess, it should open on the MozillaFirefox sandbox.
This is working properly.
.
.
.
Scenario 2
In my Downloads folder, I have a PDF document, associated to open with Firefox. When I double-click on it, I am expecting for it to open on the MozillaFirefox sandbox, but, it opens on the DefaultBox. This is not working properly.
Open the PDF file in Explorer
This will open a firefox.exe process on the DefaultBox
And, a lot of child processes on MozillaFirefox
This will also cause a major system slowdown until you terminate all the processes in DefaultBox and MozillaFirefox
.
.
.
Scenario 3
Same goal as Scenario 2, but I won't be executing from Explorer, this time, I executed the PDF document on cmd by opening a cmd window on the downloads folder. The document will be opened on firefox that is running under the MozillaFirefox sandbox. Notice the yellow border, this indicates that this cmd window is already running inside the default box before it spawned firefox.exe This is working properly.

Scenario 4
Same goal as Scenario 3, but this time, the cmd window is unsandboxed. This fails like with the Scenario 2.
