Firefox Portable

To be honest I didn't know Firefox recognizes multiple paths for plugin locations (using portable version since like.. forever), until very recently You made this small enchantment to auto-include JavaPortable.

How can I upgrade my existing Firefox Portable "stable/release" to "beta"?

I use FX portable on my PC, it's heavily tweaked and personalized with numerous extensions.

Hey,

I am curious about building FirefoxPortable from source.

Since I want to use a customized version of Firefox, I want to build it from source.
Now, I've successfully build a version, but it turned out bigger than the offered one. (The patches are small and few, they should not take up significant space.)
I see for example the folder named chrome, which the portable version does not have.
Deleting this makes FF not start.

My question is, what flags do you use when building?
And what do you delete afterwards, etc?

I've managed to make firefox portable work with java portable thanks to some posts in a thread here (https://portableapps.com/node/21946)
But it does leave a lot of crap behind.

My request would be to make firefox clean up after exit the entries java leaves behind like:
HKU\S-1-5-21-2293001926-2685405310-2781144714-500\Software\JavaSoft
HKU\S-1-5-21-2293001926-2685405310-2781144714-500\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\
C:\Windows\Sun
C:\Windows\Sun\Java
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment

I never use tabbed browsing.

I'm using Portable Firefox V3.5.1 and it insists on having one tab to the left of the screen. This tab, to me, is largely useless as the title on it duplicates what I see in the far upper left of the screen. Plus, it takes up valuable vertical browsing space.

Is there a way to remove the last tab?

Thanks!

I have a server that is set up to use HTTPS. Every time I go to my site its comes up This Connection is Untrusted asking me to confirm security exception. I click "I Understand The Risk" then "Add Exception". Now it wont let me confirm until I uncheck the "Permanently Store Exception" box. Is there any way to store that site. I have tried Tools>Options>Security>Exceptions and no good. When using Reg. Firefox 7.0.1 it will let me store it and not ask again. Is there any way I can go and copy the exception from the Reg. install at home?

Hi,

When I close Firefox, it doesn't save some settings.
For example: I have disabled all cookies, but in some cases I need of them, like when I do login in a forum, so I've created some exceptions (Option tab> Privacy) for selected sites.
I would also like to allow pop-ups from certain sites, so I've created others exceptions (Option tab> Contents) for that.

Everything works fine, but if I close Firefox I lose the lists of exceptions.
How can I fix it?

I would also like to understand where the bookmark is saved, because if I go in
E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile

In the description of jPortable 6 Update 29 is mentioned, that "jPortable allows you to easily install the Java® runtime engine to your PortableApps.com-enabled device for use with portable apps like ... Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition ..., all without any Java runtime on the local PC.

After quite a few back and forths with Siber Systems including running their tracer program, I have now figured out why PortableFirefox does not work with RoboForm2Go and unfortunately this is a Firefox Portable issue, not a RoboForm issue.

Portable Firefox sits in a directory called x:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable and when run from that directory, RoboForm will not attach to the browser. However, there is also an executable buried in x:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox

Why is it there? Normal Firefox (non-portable) haven't got this file.
I read other topic, but I didn't understand anything. He say it is necessary for extensions. I deleted sqlite3.exe file, but my extensions exactly work other computers. Please give me more information..
