download link redirecting to download page on Portableapps.com
When I click on the download link using Firefox Portable the Sourceforge download page comes up, then just when the download should start I get sent right back to the download page for Firefox Portable on Portableapps.com. I have tried clearing the cache and cookies but still get the same result. I am not sure if this is a problem with Sourceforge or my Firefox installation. I will try Internet Explorer to see If I get the same result.
Update
Just tried the download with a local Firefox installation and it worked, so must be something with my Firefox Portable installation.
SourceForge
If you have a specific mirror selected within Firefox Portable and it's no longer available, the download won't work. It's an ongoing bug at SourceForge.
Sourceforge Settings
So far as I know John it was set to auto select a mirror to download from, unless I inadvertently selected one at some point without knowing it. I usually clear the cache, cookies, and other data from the browser before I exit. I am not sure if that would have anything to do with the download mirror setting or not. I am also wondering if I have an extension that would be interfering with it, So I am thinking about disabling them to see if I can track down the problem.
Disable Extensions
It works just fine here on my regular Firefox as well as a clean Firefox Portable install, so it's not inherently something to do with us. Note that SourceForge's setup is completely outside our control. I mention the mirror setting as it's something I ran into a couple weeks ago. Try disabling your extensions to see if something is interfering. Typical conflicts are anything that alters the page itself or messes with the user agent.
Found an extension causing the problem
Found the extension Redirect Cleaner to be the problem, it was apparently rewritten recently and does not work exactly the same anymore so it is now disabled.
Firefox, Flash and Shockwave Player Plugins
I need help.
Every other week the browser complains about a plugin being obsolete and vulnerable. If this occurs between the (too frequent also) portable upgrades, I can't do anything, because the upgraders of plugins mentioned in the subject run in the system globally (even called from a portable instance), not in the portable scope. I googled the thing, and found a solution: install a non portable Firefox, equip with the desired plugin set, then copy the plugins directory to the portable Firefox folder.
Is there an other way?
If I have a local Firefox, the portable is useless. Since the settings are in the cloud (the Sync), every local Firefoxes may behave the same way. The window for portable Firefox seems to be closing.
Where am I wrong?
