FF 13 leaves an empty folder on Local

veyselcelik - June 14, 2012 - 11:44am

I've just downloaded FirefoxPortable_13.0_English.paf and install it on a folder on my desktop. I launched FirefoxPortable and then, i closed it. And it left an empty folder here.

C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox

I'm using Windows 7 64bit. And I have never installed normal non-portable firefox.

I just wanted to complain Smiling But this effect is NOT on FF 12.x.y, which I downloaded here. After updating to vers 13.0.1 at Mozilla.org it is the same. And these folders are not even empty!

We're looking into the issue you mentioned as it appears to affect all mozilla apps.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
