Firefox Portable

Redirect the console log output to a file

Submitted by wbal on January 21, 2021 - 5:15am

We are working with Firefox Portable ESR 78.6.0 on windows 10 OS
We want to write logs in a txt file. To do this, we used window.dump ("txt") in js files.
we have set the configurations from about:config :
"browser.dom.window.dump.enabled" to true and "browser.dom.window.dump.file" : "c:\file.txt". (we tried other locations)
the result is always : the file is created but it is still empty.
Is there another configuration to do or another way to redirect the console log output to a file?

Thank you.

Cannot Update Firefox

Submitted by Motormaster on January 14, 2021 - 9:04am

I've always been able to check for updates manually in Firefox Portable. However, now when I go to Help and About Firefox, the program no longer checks for updates. It says Updates disabled by your system administrator.

Is there a way to fix this so I can check for updates again and continually updating the program?

Thanks!

Is This Possible? - Multiple Firefox Portable From Different Folders

Submitted by John0877 on December 30, 2020 - 7:54pm

I know there's been more than a few posts about multiple instances of FFP but I don't recall seeing one that was my specific question. Most involved different versions or an installed version and a portable version. I am wondering if it is possible to run multiple FFPs of the same version just from different folders. I have tried the AllowMultipleInstances=true parameter in the past but that just resulted in a link being clicked from outside FFP opening Firefox in a new window void of extensions and theme and all that. That isn't what I am after.

[Fixed] Version 84.0.1 Simplified Chinese and Turkish installers are corrupt on the server

The installers for Firefox 84.0.1 in the languages Simplified Chinese and Turkish are corrupt / truncated on the server.
The Installers for other languages are all about 120 MB in size, but those two are 102 MB and 94 MB in size respectively and are failing their integrity check.

The hashes of the downloaded files are matching the listed hashes, but the files are corrupt, so, the problem is server side, not just a bad / incomplete download.

Detect browser close event

Submitted by wbal on December 25, 2020 - 7:31am

We are working with Firefox Portable ESR 78.6.0 on windows 10 OS

We need to detect the close event to override it, or disable it when the user try to close the browser from the taskbar.

With an older version of Firefox Portable ESR (52.2.0), we used the following code to detect browser closure:

var observerService = Components.classes ["@ mozilla.org/observer-service;1"OUND.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);

observerService.addObserver (this, "quit-application-granted", false);

Running Firefox Portable 84.01 on a Windows 10 machine.

Suddenly yesterday, when launching Firefox Portable, I receive the error: "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."

Flash post Jan 12

Submitted by SJDSG on December 22, 2020 - 3:32pm

Good Day,
Thank you for making this great product available. I have been able to get it working here on a few machines. To get it working I had to install Adobe Flash on the machines on which it will run. Then after Flash is installed I copy NPSWF64_32_0_0_465.dll to the firefoxportable\data\plugins folder.

Is this what others are doing? With this method will Flash continue to work post Jan 12? My understanding is that Adobe has a switch already present to prevent their installed FlashPlayer from working on Jan 12th.

Thank you

Download for Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Edition 68.9.0?

Submitted by andkon on December 21, 2020 - 2:28am

I see the article for Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Edition 68.9.0: https://portableapps.com/news/2020-06-03--firefox-portable-esr-68.9.0-re...

The download link in the article goes to the main page for Firefox ESR which (unfortunately for me) has the most recent version (78.6.0): https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr
