[Resolved] Running multiple versions of portable firefox simultaneously

Submitted by mangodurian on September 1, 2010 - 6:08pm

I'm not sure how he does it, but in Germany, there's this guy that releases portable versions of firefox that can run simultaneously with other versions..

[link to illegal software removed by mod JTH]

Would it be possible/simple for future versions here to be tweaked to do likewise??

I would like to run portable 3.6.8 alongside portable version 4 for testing purposes..

or alternatively, is there something i could tweak in your versions, to allow both versions to run side by side???

Running Firefox Portable stable and Firefox Portable beta simultaneously

Submitted by jetshopit on August 16, 2010 - 6:29am

I want to run the stable and beta versions of Firefox portable together. I'm using, and liking, the Beta, but there's a website or two I use that don't work on the beta so I have to use the stable version for them.

The two versions use separate profiles, and I've set AllowMultipleInstances=true in the FirefoxPortable.ini in both. But still, if the beta is running and I try and launch the stable it brings up another windows of the beta. Closing the beta version makes the stable one come up fine (so it's not that I actually have two copies of the beta!)

Firefox Flash

Hi.
i installed firefox portable on my usb card drive, and encountered a problem:

allthough i used this firefox flash installer which is available here, i have to keep using it everytime i switch computers, or the flash plugin wont work.

dont misunderstand me - i dont get an error message - its just that the flash components of a website wont load until i execute the flash portable installer.

i dont think that this was the plan.

anyone got suggestions?

Greetings

p.s.: excuse me for my cruel english

Compability with Keyscrambler plugin

Am I the only one who does not get the Keyscrambler plugin to work properly in Firefox Portable?

For you who don't know Keyscrambler is an excellent addon, especially for those who uses Firefox Portable on computers they don't trust. Keyscrambler uses seamless encryption technology to thwart keyloggers. And we all know that keyloggers are not very uncommon on public computers.

The addon may be found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3383/
