Portable Disabled

We have that feature disabled in the portable browser by default. It'll notify you if there's an update but not download or install it automatically. Unless you changed that somehow. They're about:config settings:

app.update.auto - false
app.update.enabled - false
app.update.silent - false

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

Can't

If you have all those settings set, it can't update in the background. Unless you run firefox.exe directly, in which case it's using your local settings and will automatically update.

Additionally, if you're running in local mode, be sure app.update.service.enabled is set to false as well.

Shortcut?

If you have a shortcut or pinned firefox.exe, it's not running in portable mode. You must run FirefoxPortable.exe only.
