Firefox and Waterfox are temporarily fully or partly blank when opened in Sandboxie #3661

Description

Describe what you noticed and did

When Firefox or Waterfox (Gecko engine?) are opened in Sandboxie, either entire page or partial blocks of a page are blank and white. The issue happens intermittently. Sandboxed Edge and Chrome have no issues. After clicking into a page a couple times, more of a page is revealed block by block until everything is visible again. There are no other issues. It happens again after I switch to another window of another program and come back to Firefox or Waterfox.

I tried latest build of Sandboxie plus and classic. As well I tried to downgrade to previous versions of Sandboxie. The issue is present in all of them. Firefox and Waterfox without Sandoboxie work fine. Everything was tested in fresh downloads and everything in default.
