R3dfox 147: Cannot disable smoothscrolling. (Cannot register for Eclipse community either b/c registration question)

Submitted by EvanSen on February 28, 2026 - 12:43pm

Hi I tried to register for the Eclipse community however I could not get past the registration question since I have only used Windows 10 once.
Which features are part of Windows 7 and which are part of Windows 10?
Please drag the options to the correct list, to avoid automated registrations.

So my question for R3dfox portable.
How does one disable Smooth Scrolling?
I have unchecked it under Settings>General>Browsing yet it keeps happening.
This makes it take too long to scroll while using the mouse wheel.

Thanks in advance.

random .parc files?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I've noticed when visiting a specific website neowin.net while using Firefox portable that there are three random .parc files that get written to the root directory of my drive. Is this something new, normal etc?

problem ejecting USB drive after having run Firefox Portable from it

So a while back I noticed that Windows was unable to eject my USB drive. I tried to use programs to find open handles or programs that might be open but it didn't help. I even bought and tried the program USB Safely Remove but it didn't help either. I did however find the cause to be Firefox Portable. I have tried with different USB sticks and also Firefox ESR. Here are the approximate steps I've done:

Cannot make FirefoxDE to run when modifying the executable & ini

Submitted by ANONS on October 23, 2025 - 4:51pm

I changed "firefox.exe" inside the App\Firefox64 to "firefoxde.exe" & at same time modified the launcher configuration file inside Other\Source, the FirefoxPortable.ini, I looked for the line: "FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe" and modified it to "FirefoxExecutable=firefoxde.exe"

I'm aware some programs don't like to be renamed, but I believe it was around 2 days ago that I saw a post that was quite old and it was stated it was possible for Firefox, but I get the error by the launcher, which is not able to find the executable.
