Firefox Portable

I recently updated to Firefox 28, and now addons won't install by clicking the "download" button on the addon pages. In order to install addons now I have to right click on the "download" button, copy link URL, and then paste & enter the link in a new tab. Only then will the addon install.

Additionally, the buttons use to say "Add to Firefox" or something along those lines, along with a green button. Now it's simply "Download" with a blue button. Is that a site change, or due to more recent changes in how Firefox portable sees the pages?

I'm wondering how to update Flash in FF Portable. I have seen a reference to "portable flash," but didn't see anything like that on the Portable Apps app page.

Every time I try to update, I am asked for an admin u/n and password, which I obviously don't have.

Suggestions?

I sync Firefox History between several PCs and one portable device.

The sync is working just fine but on the portable device I can't SEE the past history (just today's - from when you first click on "History").

So, when I go into "Show all History" there is nothing there. Though on the PC's I can see all the past history OK - including the activity on the portable device.

The problem seems to be peculiar to the portable version of Firefox.

Has anyone else noticed this or have a solution?

Thanks

I lost my flash drive with my portable apps.I have backups of portable firefox and portable thunderbird on my desktop hard drive.I was unable to restore settings to new flash drive installation of firefox. Mozbackup failed to restore files.I would like to try and do it manually.I have read different articles on how this is done.I still must be missing something because when i finish,and open the program it still has the original new empty menu bar. not my old one.My question is 1.) after I open the compressed files. which file holds information from menu bar, folders and passwords.

Hello,

I read much about FirefoxPortable.ini modification is needed to enable multiple instance of Firefox Portable, but I got surprised when I couldn't run FirefoxPortable Aurora(tried beta, nightly, ...) without AllowMultipleInstances modification. Shouldn't aurora executable itself already define itself as aurora version and "Firefox itself is *DESIGNED* so that you can't start multiple copies with different profiles by default" is not applied in this case? (as they are different firefox versions at all)

As from last week, the Firefox PortableApp is no longer starting. When I click the icon, or try to start it from its folder, I see the startup window (that says Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition) but then nothing more.

There does not seem to be any avaliable updates, I am running PortableApps v. 11.2 and Firefox v 28.0. My other portable apps works, so this seem to be a specific Firefox PortableApp problem. I have tried it on another computer but had the same problem. I use PCs.

Since the latest update, that's the error message I get about 15 seconds after the boot splash - FF GUI never even appears prior to the error box.

I am from Germany and Gema block youtube here. first i install hotspot shield software to access youtube, but it hang my computer. Then i use a web proxy website http://proxymonster.us i was reading somewhere that there are some chrome or Firefox addons for unblock restricted website. I search on google but didnt find the correct one. Do any body know about any addon or plugin for unblock youtube.

I copy the file NPSWF32_12_0_0_77.dll in E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins and when i test the plugin on adobe test page it shows that i have flash plugin installed but when i try to play a flash video Firefox freezes. Why is this happening?

I selected Firefox Portable so I could run it on my PC (Windows 7) in drive D (secondary hard drive) and avoid excessive writing to primary drive C (SSD). I'm trying to find where history and other data are stored so I can use CCleaner to occasionally securely overwrite it. I've searched the various Firefox files on drive D and have been unsuccessful in finding the specific file that stores this information. I know it is being stored because by clicking on the Firefox tab and selecting History, I can see the list of sites I visited today and yesterday.
