Firefox Portable

Hallo FF-Freunde,
auf meinem Desktop läuft FF 77.0 prächtig.
Nun will ich mittels AOMEI-PE Builder 2.0 mittels WindowsPE eine Sicherungs-ISO erstellen und dabei eigene Tools einbinden, u.a. eben FF portable.
Einige andere Tools konnte ich erfolgreich einbinden; die Integration von FFp funktioniert auch (auf der Basis von "FirefoxPortable_77.0_German.paf.exe").
Jedoch wenn ich dann den generierten USB-Stick oder eine CD benutze, funktioniert alles gut, auch meine anderen Tools, nicht aber FFp.

This involves Firefox Portable 77.0.1. I've used the portable version for a long time and never had any problems with it or any software from this website.

Norton AntiVirus reports the download safe. But after I install it on my local drive, and Norton runs a scan, it reports PUA.Gamevance in the registry (approximately 40 registry entries). That is amazing since the portable version doesn't write to the registry. Or does it?

Hi All,

just about to create a portable document library using FFP as viewer.
The content should walk with the browser: created a doc folder inside ":\PortableApps\DocuFoxPortable\Data\"
(* "DocuFoxPortable" = the re-named FFP folder)

all bookmarks for files in local storage get added with absolute path
"file:///--DriveLetter--:/PortableApps/..."
When changing them manually to "file:///Data/DocuFoxFiles/--Filename--" the files don't get found

Hi,

a general question, but since i'm asking because of FIrefox i created this topic in the Firefox Subforum.

Can i use an installed version next to a portable one? Especially at the same time? Without loss or corruption of any data?

I'm asking because of the folders FIrefox portable creates at start and deletes at closing...

Thanks.

Hi

I always use "subst p: %CD% >nul 2>nul" to mount my portable drive.
This has given very good service over many years.

I am new to PortableApps and love Firefox/Thunderbird - specifically because Firefox takes it's full profile on the stick (unlike Chrome).
However, when I add extensions they disappear when I move to another computer and am allocated a differnet initial drive letter.
I can carry them *.xpi and "install from file" - every time - but it's a pain.

1. Firefox ESR Portable cannot start after Tor Portable

I see this as a bug because I can start Tor Portable AFTER I start Firefox ESR but not the other way around.
Firefox detected there was another instance of Firefox running and failed to start.
Tor portable do not have this restriction. Would the development team please port the relevant code from Tor to fix this please.

I need to use FirefoxPortable ESR 52.8.1 with Jportable 8.0.241.0 but I can't get it to work without enabling Java content in the browser in the Java Control Panel.

Does anyone know how to enable java in the browser without administrator permissions? Adding registry entries to FirefoxPortable.ini?

Thanks

I am on the mozila site too because FF-portable suddenly does the weirdest thing. In short: when I click a link in mail or anywhere else a NEW instance of firefox portable seems to start, with a different profile. Same exe, 2 different profiles from 2 different locations on my pc.

Question from the person that has been very helpful on mozila forums:

Hi,

I heard that firefox has implemented a functionality similar to chrome to encrypt the user's passwords data with the windows credentials so that it's no longer portable.

Is there any known workaround or flag to to avoid this behavior ?

Thanks,
Ranga
