Firefox Portable loses customizations when moved

Submitted by HamiltonBurger on April 29, 2020 - 12:54pm

On Windows 10 with FF 75.0

After just now moving the entire Firefox Portable to a new location, customizations are missing from the toolbar and menu bar (I use a lot) and extensions don't appear in the Customize Firefox page. Extensions are listed correctly on the Add-ons page but they have no icons. I do have full access to my bookmarks and history.

Moving the program back to the original location restores everything but I don't want it there anymore.

Help, please.

Preventing Firefox Portable from updating

Submitted by Niloc81 on February 14, 2020 - 11:33am

Hi all - being a newbie to this Forum, I'm hoping you more experienced users will be able to advise me.

I had Firefox Portable ver 59 working just fine, when suddenly it got updated to ver 72, then 73. This is in spite of me having turned off automatic updates ! I've followed various tips & tricks on the 'Net, but nothing seems to stop it happening. I'd welcome any advice on any more settings that I can change.

What is FirefoxPortable.exe?

Submitted by paGuy on February 5, 2020 - 1:35pm

Its size is 177kb so its not a shortcut. Its in the first folder of FirefoxPortable yet there's a folder called App which holds both the 32 and 64 bit versions. When I used this FirefoxPortable.exe it opened the 32 bit version even though I have a 64 bit system. Shouldn't it have defaulted to the 64 bit version?
