As for leaving the console for a short period of time I found 'vlock -a' helpfull.

Strange sandbox works fine with firefox & gftp but has stopped working with opera for some reason. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2835777/BangHead1.gif

It's nice but sandbox is overkill for simple home user like me.

Anyway to save downloads:  ( Thanks to Dan Walsh )

mkdir /tmp/myweb ~/myweb
sandbox -X -T /tmp/myweb -H ~/myweb -t sandbox_web_t firefox

Then you can download any content, setup bookmarks ... and the sandbox will not remove them when you are done.  If you later run a command with the same sandbox homedir and tmpdir, the content will be there.
Works a treat !

I am using the following to sandbox Firefox
mkdir /tmp/myweb ~/myweb
sandbox -X -T /tmp/myweb -H ~/myweb -t sandbox_web_t firefox

If I install Adobe Flash Player, will Flash Player be sandboxed when I run the following?
sandbox -X -T /tmp/myweb -H ~/myweb -t sandbox_web_t firefox

Notes to some of the replies:

Yes, flash plugin will be sandbox'd too.

sandbox_web_t allows this session to connect to "Ports required for web browsing" as the manual states. You can't use a socks proxy here for example. Likewise sandbox_net_t allows it to connect to any port.

The -w option switch is useful to specify a custom window size, but unfortunately it cannot be manually resized after all. Though there was a time between SL 6.2 and 6.3 when there was a TUV patch that made this possible. They removed it from 6.4.
