Firefox Portable

Having problems with 52.8 ESR

Submitted by mozfan on June 22, 2018 - 1:35pm

I've had frequent freezing and Captcha errors from CL website on my old FF38 and had to update to 52.8 ESR (old machine winXP, SP2). For a few weeks Captcha worked - probably because I allowed cookies and got rid of NoScript. Placing CL and other sites in allowed Exceptions never worked. All cookies had to be allowed and kept till they expire. Now, even with everything allowed, including googleanalytics.com that I imagine must be allowed for Captcha to work, it still gives me errors on CL website.

Unable to access any site in FirefoxPortable - invalid error message received

Submitted by PetersT on June 13, 2018 - 7:44am

This started occurring on my home PC (Windows10) on Friday 8 June 2018. When I fired up FirefoxPortable from my USB drive platform, and it opened my home tabs (office.com, google.com, wikipedia.org, and wiktionary.org), I saw the same result on each tab: "The owner of X has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. The site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate."

Hi friendos,

I'm in search of a valid copy of firefox developer (portable, preferrably, but not- will do the job), since i got updated and i'd like to go back to that version but can't find a copy anywhere.

So, if some of you guys would send a link or an upload of a working copy of this version, i'd be more than thankful.

Regards

Using Firefox Portable with Selenium 3+ and GeckoDriver

Submitted by dionysiose on June 8, 2018 - 7:02am

I am trying to use Firefox Portable 60.0.1 with Selenium 3.11.0 and GeckoDriver 0.20.0.

So I specify the executable for both the Firefox Portable and GeckoDriver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", ClassLoader.getSystemResource("webdriver/geckodriver_0.11.1.exe").getFile());
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", ClassLoader.getSystemResource("FirefoxPortableESR/FirefoxPortable.exe").getFile());

The above results to Firefox Portable and GeckoDriver not being able to communicate with each other. However, if I run:

Could we consider moving the default cache to the Temp directory?

I don't know where the current write directory for FFP is but I'm assuming it's on my flash drive as whenever I visit YouTube, the light on my drive becomes a morse code beacon and doesn't stop flashing at all. With the limited number of read/writes a USB drive has, would it not be better to move the browser cache to the local hard drive by default on FFP?

Run Portable, Want To Quantum Desktop

Submitted by Theo1352 on May 5, 2018 - 1:46pm

I have been using Portable on a USB drive for some 6 months now, have configured it to my preferences. Thought this was the best way to get to know the new FF.

I will continue to use Portable when I travel on all my laptops, but want to add a permanent desktop version from Mozilla.

I have Waterfox (current) as my default, also have FF ESR (current) on my desktop, as well as Basilisk (Pale Moon derived, current). These were stop gaps while I played with Quantum.

Now, I want to use Portable to configure Quantum on my desktop.

Not launching java

Submitted by OFox32 on April 18, 2018 - 8:27pm

I have been using portable Firefox 51 and portable Java 8u161 for the past few months and it's been working great until yesterday. Now I have to have Java 8u171 for it to work. I don't have Java installed on my computer so it's not a conflict. I am using a mozilla.cfg file to configure firefox to not update or look to the Operating system for addons. I can't use java 8u171 because the app is not compatible with it, it requires java 8u161 or 8u152. if I visit www.java.com and click verify java it just shows a blank white spot.
