Firefox Portable

When firefox is running and open in bckground it always pops to front window and takes attention away from what I was doing.

I follow these steps, but it didn't work.

Is this a portableapps firefox issue? Any fix?

Cheers.

I thinking of deploying Firefox Portable on desktops since it is a flat folder install. The beauty of this is I just need to copy the folder and it's fully functional. No install / uninstall commands.

My Question is how can I update this in the future? Can I run the command:

"\\...FirefoxPortable_9.0.1_English.paf.exe" /s (example)

and update Firefox portable without any fuss?

Thanks

The PortableApps.com release of Firefox 10 Beta3 is taking a long time so I decided to use the internal Firefox updater instead of waiting for and update to be available from the PA.c Updater.

I started PA > clicked on Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (9 Beta) > after Firefox started, I clicked on Help > clicked on About Firefox > clicked on Check for Updates > Downloaded and installed the update in that window > restarted Firefox.

When I click on Help > About Firefox, it now appears "10.0" below Firefox logo.

However, I have some questions:

Ever since the Fx Windows UAC change bug 481815: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481815 for those using a Firefox Portable version of Aurora 11.0a2 and Nighty 12.0a1(Created using zip builds), and you are using the Fx portable hidden config option setting to change 'firefox.exe' process name(example: firefoxaurora.exe), updates would download and then fail to install.

From my work computer I try to launch Firefox 9.0.1 from my memory stick. My computer here uses XP with SP 3. I get the application's flash window but this is immediately followed by it crashing and I see the standard XP message window saying "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I get the same message if I launch FireFox.exe manually, ie from the folder it resides in on the memory stick.

I don't get this problem at home where I have Windows 7.

The portable app launcher advises me that my copy is up to date.

Hello,

I recognized that Firefox Sync is not working.
If I set up sync to an existing account and restart Firefox, then all sync settings are gone.
In the Firefox menu (the orange Firefox button) there is "Setup Sync" instead of "Sync now".

I had Firefox 8 installed version (not the portable version).
There I set up Firefox sync to sync my bookmarks between my private PC, my work PC and my Android phone.
Everything worked perfectly.

Hello,

I have the PAP (Portable Apps Platform) 10.0.1 in German language.
Also my OS (Windows 7) is in German language.
And my old portable Firefox (8.x) was also in German language.
For some postings here I changed the language of the PAP to English.

Then the PAP updated Firefox to version 9.0 (auto update).
But now Firefox is displayed in English language.

Is there a way to get Firefox in German language?
Installing it again is not an option, because it took me some time to install and configure some Add-Ons.

Today, I accepted the FireFox update to 9.0.1. Was a 2 MB download.

After I accepted, I realized that was FireFox which asked me to install this update. Wasn't the portable apps platform.

It is okay this way of update or I must replace the FireFox with portable version 9.0?

Thanks,

this trix has stopped working with v10 for some reason.

People have had problem to pin firefox portable in windows 7 so the right firefox profile starts and, at the same time, only get one single icon in the taskbar.

The problem have been:
1 - If you start firefoxportable.exe and then try to pin it, next time you start it you notice a new profile is started locally on the computer and not the profile you have used in firefoxportable. This is because firefox.exe is pinned.
