Firefox Portable

After upgrade to v100 FFportable not usable any more! Retrieve Bookmarks?

Submitted by pstein on May 7, 2022 - 3:40am

I used Firefox Portable (from PortableApps) a long time without problems.
I setup automatic updates.

So my FF updated automatically from v99 to v100.

When I started this new version an error popup appears;

Error: Platform version '100.0' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 99.0.1
maxVersion <= 99.0.1

and rejects to proceed with start.

This is a bug.
I guess its because FF does not understand a 3-digit version number

Ok, I expect that Firefox PortableApps will be fixed.

But there is another problem:

How to run 2 instances of FirefoxPortable simultaniuosly?

Submitted by temptest on May 1, 2022 - 5:24am

I want to run FirefoxPortable and FirefoxDevPortable at the same time but when I try to start the second browser it says Firefox is already running.
Is it in any why possible to run both at the same time?

It is possible to run FirefoxDevPortable and then start an normally installed Firefox instance. So it is possible to run 2 Firefox at the same time, but I want to run 2 Portable version of Firefox.

Matterport VR not opening FF58

Submitted by mozfan on April 10, 2022 - 1:12pm

Matterport used to open and work well, I just had to allow access, but suddenly it no longer opens showing a black screen. Still works in Chrome, but not in Pale Moon. I don't remember modifying anything, did a system restore and started in safe mode - same thing. The only thing that may have changed was Chrome downloaded something - a new version? - without my knowledge. However, the system restore did not reverse whatever they may have done. I'd hate to sssswitch to Chrome every time I need to open a VR link...

Any thoughts? Thank you

fix for over sized menu spacing

Submitted by rocket888 on April 6, 2022 - 2:37am

I briefly updated to the lastest version v99 or so (but made a snapshot first, and then restored after the problem described below). I'm back to running v 90.0.2 and everything is fine, I think I had to fix this once before but can't recall.

Anyway, the issue is the huge amount of spacing in the menus for the bookmark folders.

I read somewhere you can change something in file C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXX.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css and copy the below lines at the top.
