It appears that the new McAfee SiteAdvisor (2.8) no longer functions properly when Firefox is used under Sandboxie. Anyone else experiencing this?

Some other observations as it relates to SiteAdvisor 2.8 and Firefox:

1) When 2.8 downloaded and installed, it installed as a second instance of SiteAdvisor -- so I now have two: 2.6 and 2.8. It didn't replace 2.6.

2) The "Uninstall" feature for 2.8 is grayed out -- not sure how to uninstall it.

3) When I disabled 2.8 and enabled 2.6, SiteAdvisor works again -- even when Firefox is sandboxed.
