Firefox Portable

It's not the first time now that e.g. after a Windows update and a restart of the system, Firefox Portable has automatically opened after reboot. I have checked with Sysinternals Autoruns but could not find any reason for that.
I'm using v.72.0.1 on Win10x64, but it happened with versions before that too.

firefox is offering to update itself, outside of the portableapps app. while browsing with firefox i received a notification window informing me to restart to update firefox. i allowed it to update itself and when it restarted it gave me an XPCOM error (couldn't load). i will reinstall to fix it, so no worries. just wished to inform you that firefox is updating itself (i have seen this on my laptop/other computer as well, but the laptop update was successful without the xpcom error).

cheers.

1. Understandably, there is a delay in the release of new versions of Firefox Portable compared with Firefox regular, so my portable installation nags me to update before the update is available here, and offers to update for me (but, I'm pretty sure, it thinks it's a regular install and wouldn't work). I usually ignore it, but today it occurred to me that maybe upgrading that work might work? Or is it better to continue to wait until the new version (in this case 72.1) is available here?

Like many others, I suddenly got a notice on the Options page "Your browser is being managed by your organization" and when clicked it opens an Active policy "AppUpdateURL "http://127.0.0.1/" and "DisableAppUpdate true". Documentation link opens a long list of Policy Names

Hi folks,

in "about:preferences" firefox tells me in german "Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet." (in english "The browser is administrated by your organisation").

This means, that i.e. it does not (since they disabled it)

- use my saved accounts to login to sites.
- allow to update to the most recent version.

I understand that this is important for the (ESR) release that my company automatically installs, but I would expect a portable release to be able to ignore those corporate settings.

Hello,

I'm trying to use an addon called Scrapbee with Firefox portable v71.

This addon uses the Native Messaging Hosts parameters to refer a JSON. On Windows, this is usually done through the registry with the following keys :
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend

Hello,

Is it possible to use non-portable Firefox/SeaMonkey with a PortableApps Firefox/SeaMonkey profiles by using the "-profile" command-line option?

So, for example, suppose we have our non-portable Firefox/SeaMonkey installed in the following locations respectively:

C:\Applications\firefox-52.9.1
C:\Applications\seamonkey-2.49.5

And also, suppose we have PortableApps Firefox/SeaMonkey installed in the following locations respectively:

C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableLegacy52
C:\PortableApps\SeaMonkeyPortable

Hello
After updating 71.00 portable, the bookmarks of the favorite bar are displayed horizontally, preventing access to all bookmarks available. To get around the problem, I have to create and insert an empty folder as firts element of the list , so they are displayed correctly, i.e. vertically. Already tried to start Firefox with disabled add-ons.
I tried to get the previous version (I backup everything ...) and when update to 71.00 the problem occurs. Strange that it just happened to me.
Any suggestions to fix the problem?

When I disable the enterprise policy, firefox will instantly try to update me to the latest version 71.0, but I only want to update to 69 or 70, but not 71.0, so how can I do that on an existing portable installation?

Is there a .mar file I can use to perform a manual in-place upgrade?

So I've been using Firefox Portable version 55.0.2 for quite some time, and I'm very happy, thank you for the work you do.

I'm wondering, is there a way for me to "hack" the browser and completely disable the download box/dialog?

For example, see this picture:
