When Firefox Starts startup setting not honored

Submitted by vodoomoth on January 20, 2016 - 3:29am

Hi,
I am facing an inconvenience that I can't quite understand. I'm doing freelance job on a client's premises and using a computer that they assigned to me for the time that I'm spending there.

Since they have their rules regarding software installation, I can't install much and consequently, I can't upgrade their old version of FF, old enough to not have Sync^^. However, I could copy Firefox portable to a folder on the disk and run it from there.

Making x64 only Firefox

Submitted by veyselcelik on January 13, 2016 - 4:16pm

Dear John. T. Haller,

Do you think releasing only 64-bit version of Firefox? Like Google Chrome x64.

Copying all files from 64-bit folder to Firefox folder, than deleting 64-bit folder is it ok? will it crash or cause any problem?

I'll never need 32-bit version, and I want to make things more regular.

Regards.

I have no idea what is happening the last 2 versions of firefox (portable) some sites I will go too i will get this application/octet-stream with attachment to download.

And some other sites it just freeze. I install a fresh portable firefox with NO add-0ns and still having same issues.

Since 43.01 64bit no longer finds any application update

Submitted by Zee_Pants on January 1, 2016 - 11:44am

Since 43.01, Firefox fails to locate any application updates. I am on 64 bit (Win7). The firefox process running is the 64bit version

To replicate:
1. Download FirefoxPortable_43.0_English.paf.exe and unpack
2. Go to Help>About>Check for updates, it will detect an update to 43.01 (and if you go ahead it will work)

3. Download FirefoxPortable_43.0.1_English.paf (or use the updated version from above) and unpack
4. Go to Help>About>Check for updates - it will find no updates
(but there IS a 43.02, we know this for certain)

How to use proxy when opening portable firefox?

for example..

I will open the portable firefox and when it will open the portable firefox it will ask for authentication for the proxies username and password.

this maybe possible if i will set it everytime it will open the homepage of a certain website example abc.com as the homepage and it will request or requires a proxy username and password before it will work.
