Firefox Portable edtion 69.0.3 is not working normally with bilibili.com video

Submitted by Swan on October 16, 2019 - 2:31am

Hi, there is a problem when visiting bilibili.com and can't play video smoothly from FirefoxPortable.exe.
It's stuck every 3-5 seconds and then the vision moves on then stuck again in a loop.
URL: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av71357702

But, it's ok when running firefox.exe from its install directory normally.
So is there any solution?

FF Developer's Edition v70 - Problems When Running From Different Path

Submitted by Kernel on October 15, 2019 - 12:46am

It seems this problem is back.

After setting up Firefox Developer's Edition v70, then moving it to a different path, the following happens:

1. It loses the set Theme and reverts to the default Dark Theme.

2. Add-Ons no longer work. Some of them can be made to refunction by disabling then re-enabling them.

Is there a workaround, or do we need to wait for the next version of the Firefox Developer loader app?

Firefox 55.0.2 how to change taskbar icon?

Submitted by Scorp on October 4, 2019 - 3:00am

I use Firefox Portable 55.0.2 on Windows 10. I just spent about 2 hours looking for a way to change the taskbar icon. I want to set a custom taskbar icon for every instance of Firefox Portable that I run.

I tend to run about 5 Firefoxes at the same time, and it becomes hard to know which one is which. So I would like to set a custom taskbar icon for each, make the taskbar icon a simple number, and that will be that.

So my taskbar will look like this:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Instead of like this:

FF | FF | FF | FF | FF

[Closed] Firefox Portable 69 stopped opening links from external apps

Hello to all, launching
"FirefoxPortable.exe www.google.com"
or
"FirefoxPortable.exe -url www.google.com"
used to work well, but for the last version of FF it started to output a message:
"Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."

[Closed] Setting persistent default download location

Hi there.

I was wondering how do you set the default directory where files are saved, to the default "Documents" folder on a standard PortableApps installation file structure.

In my case:

My installation of

Portable apps Start.exe is on "E:/"

Firefox Portable is on "E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable"

Default documents folder on "E:\Documents"

Pretty much standard.

Can't hide top tab bar

Submitted by woodslanding on September 14, 2019 - 3:45pm

I use firefox only because I can't live without side tabs. But using an addon for side tabs does not hide the top tabs.

There are numerous examples of css to put inside the userchrome file, but none of them seems to work with the portable version.

Has anyone found a way to do this? Does the portable installer need to be modified to make this work?

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks in advance!
