I encountered an error above when attempting to launch FirefoxPortable 125.0.1 on Windows 7. While it's known that Firefox no longer supports Windows 7 from version 116 onwards, there are workarounds like VxKex that allow these newer versions to function smoothly on such operating systems. In fact, I currently have Firefox 125.0.1 (the installed version) running successfully on both my test Windows 7 and 8.1 machines.
However, I'm interested in running the PortableApps version of Firefox for various reasons on these older operating systems. I just need guidance on disabling the compatibility check from the PortableApps launcher. Is there a .ini tweak or some other method available for this? If not, could you please consider incorporating it into the next version?
Thank you

It'll need an updated launcher. I put one together to test.
This should give you what you'd like. I tested it on Windows 7 x64 with VxKex and it is working as expected.

Working great!
Thank you very much for the fast solution!
