Firefox Portable

YouTube lowers video quality

Submitted by Galaxoid-333 on April 3, 2024 - 9:59am

When watching a video, if you set it to 720p, sometimes the video resolution is automatically reduced to 480p or 360p. Occasionally, it seemed to me that the resolution, on the contrary, increased to 1080p. I tried turning hardware acceleration on and off, it had no effect. This does not happen in other browsers.

Legacy Firefox portable to run Java portable only not the local installed Java on OS

Hi All,

Sorry to bring up legacy apps but I am trying to configure legacy portable versions of Firefox v3.6.28, v10, v20, v30 to run on portable version of Java - this is due to the URL/App being access only support Java 6/7 BUT on the Windows OS there is local install of Java 8 that the URL/App will not support.

Clamwin found Zard virus in Firefox Portable 124 and earlier

Submitted by Megafrog on March 23, 2024 - 1:08pm

I tried scanning my Firefox Portable along with other files with an up-to-date Clamwin:
K:\FirefoxPortable124\App\Firefox64\notificationserver.dll: Win.Virus.Zard-10023240-0 FOUND

That's not what I hoped to hear. I checked the PA site's info on virus reporting:

Firefox Portable as Standard Browser

Submitted by MrSpice on January 24, 2024 - 6:02am

Hey
Sorry if this is a repost.
What's the best way to register a portable app lets say Firefox on Windows 11 as a Standard browser?

Update: When making FF as a Standard browser in the app itself I am able to add it in the win 11 standard apps panel.
Unfortunately it opens now with the clean default FF profile. Any solutions for that?
