Firefox version 78 problem

Submitted by Niloc81 on November 2, 2020 - 7:34am

Hi all - being fairly new to this Forum, I'm hoping you more experienced users will be able to help & advise me.

I had Firefox Portable ver 78 working just fine, on my 64 bit PC. When I run the Firefox78.exe from the installed folder it opens in 64 bit perfectly. But if I click on a link in an email (after checking it's safe!) or in a file of saved website links, Firefox opens in 32 bit minus all my add-ons. I don't want to run 32 bit, only the 64 bit version, but how can I force Firefox to always open in 64 when I click on hyperlinks?

Error when opening an external link : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding ..."

I used this program to make my FirefoxPortable2ndProfile as my default browser : https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/register-firefox-portable-with-defaul...

But now when I open an an external link from another program I always see "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

I don't start with -no-remote and don't have MOZ_NO_REMOTE in Environment Variables either.

Rendering atlassain.net pages

Submitted by ahacom on September 23, 2020 - 5:10am

Since version 80.x Firefox Portable is not able to display some atlassain.net pages, e.g. login page to https://teleconnect.atlassian.net (no public page, but login screen should appear).
It regards to newer pages of atlassain.net, older pages seem to work correctly.
The Firefox 80.x installed version (Win10) -not the portable one- does not have this problem.
Any idea?
Thank you
Andreas

Is it actually impossible to use firefox sync to sync ALL *TABS* between different *desktop* versions, and if so...

Ok, so please someone tell me I can open a large fraction of my around a hundred tabs instead of opening each one individually with the extremely marginal FF sync?

The new version broke too many of my extensions in a way that made it super unstable and unusable?

Firefox portable deletes my previous session

Submitted by carlmart on September 14, 2020 - 8:20am

One of the reasons I like Firefox Portable over regular Firefox is that it allows me to restore my previous session, where lots of information and tabs that I am using, with it's passwords and all that, are already loaded.

The problem I am having is that sometimes, when I have to exit and load FF portable again I get the message that there was a problem and need to reload. An the problem is just there: when I reload all my previous sessions and all its data disappeared.
