HOWTO : Sandboxing Firefox on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Step 1 :



Go to the Apple Apps Store to install the current version of XCode if you do not have it installed.



Step 2 :



Install Homebrew if you do not have it installed.



sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"



To test the install if it is success or not :



brew doctor



Step 3 :



Install git if you do not have it installed.



brew install git



Step 4 :



cd /Users/Shared/



sudo git clone https://github.com/pansen/macos-sandbox-profiles.git



Step 5 :



cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/

sudo mv firefox-bin firefox-bin.real

sudo ln -sf /Users/Shared/macos-sandbox-profiles/bin/firefox-bin .




Step 6 :



Quit the Firefox if it is still running (not just close the browser) and then restart it.



That's all! See you.
