Hi,
Please I need a help to disable the "Install Add-On" feature, which happen when starting a CD "autorunned" with "Firefox Portable" in some PCs.
Look this snapshots images of the screen.
P.S: That do not always happens, there must be some program which "offers" this installation for the Firefox.

Basically what is happening each time is Firefox looks in specific locations for add-ons that could be compatible with it, and reports back to you about them (Mozilla has this thing now where they won't auto install an add-on without letting you know). You can disable the warnings, or you can even disable the check for add-ons from the local computer.
You will have to burn it to CD again, but try this before burning:
Open Firefox Portable and put "about:config" in the address bar.
If a warning comes up saying you could void your warranty, hit Ok.
In the Filter put "extensions.autoDisableScopes". Set this value to "15" if it isn't already. This will disable checking the local computer for add-ons.
Then in the Filter put "extensions.shownSelectionUI" and set this value to true. This will disable the add-on wizard that shows up.
Test it out before burning and hopefully it works (I haven't tested this myself, these are just the results of a Google search for similar problems).
Thanks in advance winterblood!!!
I am not with the CD here now but I will try it later.
Thanks again.
Hey,
I found the CD content here, copied in a Pendrive.
But I see than your sugestions are already made, but I tried to change the second one, the boolean, to false, and tomorrow I will try again in one of the PCs who the problem was found.
Thanks anyway!
I've had luck using extensions.enabledScopes and setting it to 5.

My posts are old and likely no longer relevant.
As I said above, these were just some options I found doing a Google search.
One of the posts I read also stated that extensions.enabledScopes wouldn't work past FF4, which is why I didn't include it above, but if others have had success with it, that may be the way to go.
hey guys,
After some tests I found than the way to work is the opposite you sugest winterblood. I set the "extensions.autoDisableScopes" to "0" and the "extensions.shownSelectionUI" to false and it works.
Thanks again, it is a great help to point me the way.
