FireFox Portable won't start generally

Submitted by dakitt on July 23, 2015 - 1:46am

Hey there,

Following configuration:
- Windows 7 x64 (no admin rights)
- tried 2 different USB flash drives
- PortableApps app is up to date
- tried to install via app and manually

However FireFox does not start. No splash screen, nothing.
With one exception: At the end of the installation process, when you say start FireFox right away. That worked. Nothing else.

Where's the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Flash on a USB drive

Up until this point Ive been getting away with "installing" a portable Firefox on the desktop of work computers. Lately they have been using Deep Freeze, and Im getting tired of updating every single day, and of course b/c of admin credentials (which I dont have) I cant update plugins like flash.

I am going to buy a USB drive and just run portable FF off of this, so I can keep it updated.

Hallo.
This problem popped up a couple of version ago, when Firefox switched from Option panel in floating window to in-browser page.
I can't say if the two things are connected, but I suspect.

First, I can connect to my Firefox account, but I receive a "Sync encountered an error while syncing. Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" message at the bottom of the window, and neither automatically nor manually the syncing operation succeed.

[Fixed] Cannot download Firefox Nightly 64-bit

The link to the Firefox Nightly 64-bit version is not linked to where it starts a download. If you go to https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test#nightly and click on the download now button for Version 41.0 Alpha 1 Pre Rev 2 x64, it just goes to a Sourceforge page with a directory and nowhere to download the portable app.
