Recently I have installed Avast Internet Security and had Firefox running in the Avast 'sandbox'. At some point, 'sandbox' has disabled my Google Taskbar while it is active. While in 'sandbox', the taskbar does not appear in the View/Taskbars option or on Firefox. If I remove the 'sandbox', the taskbar reappears both in the option and on Firefox. I am running Firefox 3.6.13, Google Taskbar 5 and Avast IS 531.889. How can I solve this problem so that the toolbar is exhibited whether I'm running Firefox in the 'sandbox' or standard mode? Any useful information is appreciated. Thank you.

1. Do you mean the Google Toolbar 5?
That is an extremely old version of the Google Toolbar, 7.1 is the latest.

2. You might want to ask Avast about that "sandbox" issue, if updating the GTB doesn't solve your problem.
