Dear friends, i found here in the forum similar questions, but mostly with only portable FF67
My working environment:
- windows 10
- static FF67 installed
- portable FF67 with PortableApps
All users on this computer use the static version. I only use PortableApps with FF, TB and others. With version FF66, i opened the portable FF and all external link requests opened in a new tab in the portable instance.
Now, with version 67 it changed. A link start the static version with the default profile.
In bugzilla to this problem i read:
New instances of Firefox use the default profile, even if there is already running instance using another profile
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553815
"This is the intentional behaviour since Firefox 67. If you want to open a new tab in an existing instance of Firefox you must launch Firefox in a way that targets the profile for that instance."
So, Mozilla changed something, but i don't know, what. Some autors in MozillaZine told me, this is now the consistent way to work with multiple instances and profiles and versions in the same time. Clear, my simple using is not part of that.
If i follow this thinking, then i don't need a portable version of FF, only a portable profile. But if i travel and there is no FF or very old, then i need it. Therefore, i decide to try to continue with this portable actual version with his own profile.
But, what can i do on a simple way, that my open ff-instance is used and create a new tab after i klick on an external link? Internal, in the browser, a klick on a link with "open new tab" works.
I would be very thankful, if anyone can help.
